Keep him in your thoughts please
We often take the smallest things for granted. To many of us, eyesight is something that we have and use. For my husband, it’s been a struggle for years to just be normal.
But there may be a light at the end of the tunnel. Last week he went to see a contact lens specialist. We found him by doing research of these special contacts that are made for people who have had terrible side effects to Lasik (though his surgery was years ago when it was new). Over the years, we have seen doctor after doctor who has told him there’s nothing they could do for him. It gets very discouraging every time we see a new doctor.
But this one is different. He gave us hope. These custom contacts will be special made to fit his volcano shaped corneas. At first we were had a huge decision to make. There are actually two types of contacts. One set cost around $1,200 and the other set around $600. They both serve the same purpose with a few differences. We decided to try the cheaper of the two at first and see how they work. We are so hopeful that they can eliminate the halos, glaring and other problems.
We ordered them today. They will be here in about a week. Please keep him in your thoughts that this will work for him. Please keep your fingers crossed that this will give him his independence and freedom back and a shred of normalcy.

I will be keeping my fingers crossed that the contacts work for him and he can see again.

How exciting to find some hope for him! I’m anxious to hear if they work for him!
