dear mylotters, in his lifetime, my father used to have eyeglasses since he was 35. he came from a family of diabetics. but when he was around 52, he had an eye surgery.. a cornea transplant or change. and the operation was very swift. there was a donor which he didnt know and to make the story short, the operation was a success and his eyes remained bandaged for nearly a week. when the doctor said it was ok to remove the bandage, he went back to his clinic and had it removed. he wore dark glasses because he said the light seems to be too glaring. then as the days passed he tried reading with it.. no eyeglasses on and he said it was as clear as ever. since then, he stopped wearing the eyeglasses until his death last year. he was 77. ohhh and the color of his eyes have changed to blue from brown. i think it was an american donor. do you have any story about eye operations of friends or yourself? do share please. ann
