Thanks for the kudos everyone. I'll forward this link to Laura and I'm sure she'll love reading the comments as much as I have.

Scott, I spent an entire day having various tests done at another eye group's center, they explained in great detail what was wrong, and they feel they can correct much of the problem(s) with laser surgery and some minor adjustments of the existing lenses. I'll be back there in two weeks to get things started, and hopefully my sight will be restored shortly thereafter. There is, however, a good chance that I'll be wearing eyeglasses again, and likely for the rest of my life. Not much more I can do at this time other than hope for the best. Today is also the day that DNJ will be undergoing a biopsy of an eyelid and possibly having eyelid surgery in the not too distant future. I wish him well.

Thanks again everyone,

Gary
