Default Thanks again

Thanks again for all your info and support. I have set the appointments for the surgery first the right and then a week later the left.
Funny how given I have always been far sighted that no one mentioned the potential danger till now, apparently it is a risk all people who are born with this shape of eye face as they age. I have lived in six states and had 8 different eye MDs over the years. Guess they don't like to alarm people and only address when they see the iris movement forward. My fluid pressure has always and still is normal, so I guess that is not a gauge for far sighted people. I wanted to especially thank " mikeod " for his expert and easy to understand explanation.
