Smile Identical vision history to original poster!

Funny to read her post and see myself! I had "finger count" vision after wearing rigid lenses since about 1969. Had Lasik about 10 years ago (had a monovision correction - worked well). Lasik correction (with one enhancement) lasted for about 6 years, then my nearsightedness started to come back (but not the astigmatism). I have some slight cataracts, too.

I first went to glasses with bifocals (since I need bifocals to read). Now I need new glasses again and decided to go for soft lenses. New Dr. put me in PureVision 2 just yesterday. Feels like nothing in my eye! Haven't tried overnight yet - I'm stepping up to longer wearing time. The down side is I can't read or use the computer wiht both lenses in (even though he did one distance and one "close up" lense to try out). I am only wearing one lense and relying on my "monovision" eye to read. Less than perfect!

The good news is: for the first time since I had Lasik, I can SEE AT NIGHT!!! I can DRIVE AT NIGHT!!! This is just sensational! Any new comments about multifocals???
