That is about what I am, I thought about just having my left eye done, since I don't have the adies pupil in that eye, and my astigmatism is so bad, I can't wear contacts very well, they tend to shift and go out of focus. Funny, my eye with the adies pupil, I can wear a contact and see about 1,000 times better than glasses, go figure.
GG, how bad is that surgery? I just figure watching a laser beam zapping your eye and I can't picture holding still for that procedure.
I hate the adies pupil, develped it in my 20s when I looked in the mirror and saw my right pupil dialated and my left pinpoint. Thought for sure I had a brain tumor. I couldn't read with my right eye, can't stand bright light. It takes that eye about 5x as long to adjust to light changes as my left eye. It calmed down finally, but if I cover my left eye, my right eye will dialate like it is covered...it is a real bitch trying to get my eye corrected to normal vision, because the pupil just doesn't want to react right. Fortunately, being left handed, I'm left "eyed" too so I don't notice how fuzzy the vision is in that eye unless my left eye is blocked by something.
