Seeing Things Like I've Never Seen Before

Today, we visited Coco Key Water resort here in Omaha. Essentially, it's an indoor water park attached to the Holiday Inn Convention Center, similar to the Great Wolf Lodge resorts. This was the first time that I've had the chance to swim in a public place since my LASIK eye surgery. Wow is all I can say. It's the first time in my life that I've actually been able to see everyone and everything while swimming, and was actually able to keep track of my daughter. Previously, I'd always wear sunglasses, but with such poor eyesight, was basically blind, and could never see anything more than a foot or two in front of me. Losing track of my daughter at the water park before was a common occurrence. Now, I could see her from across the complex. In other words, I love, love, love my new vision and have no regrets. Even though my vision is occasionally blurry or fuzzy, it sure beats what I had before, and the slight inconvenience is OK with me. I'm now 4 months past surgery, and I assume this is probably as good as it's going to get. I do see 20/15, with about 1/4 of a diopter. The optometrist indicated that it would be too risky to do a surgical enhancement, so I may just have to settle for what I've got. We'll see if things change in another 2 months.
