Cataract Surgery: After The Second Slice. 

My folks discovered that I needed glasses while I was in grade school, and I've used them ever since. The kids called me "Four Eyes," but I just wanted to have what they had: normal vision. The glasses made me self-conscious, so I wore them as little as possible, and usually removed them for pictures. That's why it took some real digging to find this 1987 passport photo w/spex.

Long story short: after these two recent cataract surgeries, I have never had vision this good, IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. SINCE BIRTH. SINCE *BEFORE* BIRTH. No more glasses. No more cheaters. No more stumbling around in a vain, half-blind fog. No more "Four Eyes." It's a f*cking miracle.
