my mom has had really bad eyes and wore glasses since she was 9 years old. in fact, WITH her contacts and glasses, she was seeing 2400/20. which means she had to be 400 times closer to something to see it the same as someone with 20/20. she had a procedure done at emory day before on wednesday and is doing great. this was not the laser surgery, it was much more complicated. they had to have a cataract doctor and a retina doctor for the operation to go well. she went for the check up yesterday morning and read the entire eye chart!!!! i about fell out of the chair. i couldnt read the bottom line from where i was sitting! she is now seeing 25/20 out of the eye they operated on and they say it will progressively get better over a month or so. she asked about what type of contacts she needed to wear after the surgery and surprisingly,they told her she wont have to wear glasses or contacts again!!!!! she is so happy! GOOD FOR HER!!
