In 2017 I started wearing a special contact lens at night. It was a hard lens, and it reshaped my eye while I slept and gave me 20/20 vision in the morning. I've gotten a new lens each year since then, as my vision continues to deteriorate.
I wasn't pleased with last year's lens, it didn't seem to correct my vision very much or for very long. When I visited the eye doctor a few weeks ago, he decided to let my corrected eye go back to its natural state. Three weeks later he took measurements of that eye and ordered a lens to correct my vision. I picked up that lens yesterday and wore it for the first time last night.
When I took the lens out this morning I looked across the front room and out the window to the house across the street, on which I could see every line on every shingle of the roof. And this was after only one night of wearing the lens. After only a couple more nights my eye will be reshaped, and wearing the lens at night will merely help retain that shape.
I can see again. Here's to another year without glasses!
