Kolja,

I took a look at your blog, and I just have one comment. The plan to
wear glasses between surgeries may not work. I tried it, and it was
impossible; too disorienting. It's hard to describe. Granted I have
three times your correction, so that may have been the problem. In
any case, I ended up using only the corrected eye and covering up
the "bad" eye with a patch. It was the only way I could function. I
had to be that way for two VERY long weeks! Anyway, just a heads
up. All the best to you. I think you will be very happy with it,
especially considering the amount of correction you will have is much
less than most of us on this board.

Cathy
