When my arm was no longer long enough for me to read a magazine or newspaper, I knew it was time to invest in some glasses! Of course the situation did not improve and I was always forgetting to put them in my handbag. I could no longer read price tags and there were many times when I thought I had bagged a bargain only to find, when I went to pay, there was an extra nought on the end and I was too embarrassed not to buy it! Supermarket shopping was hell, I could never read the weights or check ingredients. Many times I had to buy a pair of the store's reading glasses to do my shopping! My family would laugh at me because I had a pair of glasses in every room, so I could check a recipe or the oven temperature, to check the times of my favourite programmes and even to check if my eye make-up was okay! Worst of all, being keen on going to the gym, I could no longer read the instructions or set up the programme I wanted. And glasses in the gym were just hopeless. There had been many embarrassing moments in restaurants when I had forgotten the glasses and had to ask someone to read the menu for me. The dreaded day came when the optician prescribed varifocals - either that or carry two pairs of glasses!
Only six hours after the procedure, whilst making myself tea, I glanced across the work surface and realised that I could actually read the newsprint without my glasses, I could not believe it. Life just got better and better, no more searching for lost glasses when shopping, no more embarrassing moments in restaurants. Being able to watch television and seeing detail - but best of all being able to programme the machines in the gym! Thank you so much for giving me back 20/20 vision and for taking 20 years off my life. - Adele N., Fitness Trainer
