I had 20/900 in one eye (left, the good one) and 20/950 in the other. I was wearing contacts and glasses in order to see, and radial keratotomy was a miracle for me.

The doctor would only do one eye at a time, in case there was a complication I would still have some pitiful amount of useful vision.

This has beem a miracle for me. Now the only concern is, for a high myope like myself, the risk of sudden blindness from retinal detachment. So far, so good.

I am so glad for you. The Doctors typically will do only one eye at a time. That makes good sense.

You are in my prayers. May the Lord bless you with good eyesight till the end of your days on this earth.

I really was past the age where any surgeon wanted to fool with my eyes. :)
