Correcting farsightedness is much harder than nearsightedness, and in fact +4.5 was the limit of what they could do with the machine. Correcting farsightedness is done by cutting concentric grooves around the middle of the lens to make it more spherical. But the lens is gelatinous and will settle after cutting like this. So coming from +4.5, they had to correct to -1 so that it would end up near 0 after healing.

Now it should be stable. I have a checkup again near the end of the year if it has gotten worse, they will correct it for free.

I have an app on my phone that show you the pictures of 'Today X years ago'

Yesterday or today depending on your timezone, 7 years ago, marked the beginning of many lifelong friendships.
It was my first meet in Texas. In the picture I have Rand, Charlie, Ron, and Victor.
This was the day before the meet, after we set up the material in the show.

The same day I met Scott, Tim, Paco, Dave, TC, Howard, Tarka and fiance Ashley, Bill, and several others.
Good times! My life is beter for knowing all of you.

Good times indeed Bruno. I have been thinking about it a lot.

And to the man that opened himself and his shop for these get togethers.

I only made the last one, but I am forever grateful to meet such wonderful and caring gents. The comradeship was outstanding. Everyone giving what was needed.

Maybe I can make a ride on my Harley to TX----When the weather gets warmer!

I never made it but dammit im going to meet some of you some day.
I almost met up with Glen one year, and almost met up with Roy recently. Im getting closer!
