A new vision <OT>

[Garret Traylor]

As Wim said, give your old glasses to the Loins Club International; your
local optician can probably take them for you on their behalf.  The Lions
Club is a great organization, if ya'll are not too busy working on pianos,
look up one of the local clubs.  It is very rewarding organization to join
and get involved with.

Kindest Regards,

Garret

My son and daughter in law have had lasik surgery, and love it. His boss,
unfortunately, had a very bad experiment, and has never been able to see
right. But that was 15 years ago. I am sure they've perfected the surgery.

As far as what to do with your glasses. the Lions Club used to take used
glasses and give them to those who can't afford new ones. I don't know if
they still do that, however, but it might be worth looking into. Other wise,
maybe you can paint them black, and stand on a street corner with a tin cup.

Well I finally decided to do it.  After 20 years of wearing glasses I'm
getting LASIK surgery on my eyes.  Yesterday I went in for the complete
pre-op exam and today at 11:00 I have the actual procedure.  They tell me
that the time in the chair is 10 minutes total but the actual physical work
is only about one minute per eye.  Pretty amazing stuff.  It's all done with
what they call a "cool laser".  They completely numb your eyes with some
drops and you don't feel a thing.  About six hours of blurry vision, and by
the next day you see better then you ever actually did with the glasses.

 

Well, I'll let you know how it all comes out.  In the meantime I'm trying to
think of a ceremonial way to dispose of the glasses.  Maybe I'll drop a
piano on them.  I've already repaired them multiple times with CA glue.
