Fifteen year anniversary

So, been awhile since I updated. Cannot believe that fifteen years have passed since I had my ICL surgeries. 

All things considered, nothing much has changed since the surgeries, except for maybe the usual vision changes one experiences once they get into their 40's and 50's. I wear reading glasses for extended smartphone use - note that I said 'wear' and not 'need'. I can read my phone without them but it involves a little squinting if I'm honest. ;) Same for TV watching - I can see the screen fine but I do have TV watching glasses if I really want it sharp. Distance vision still remains great - no need for glasses there. 

Dry eye continues to be a problem but as I've reported previously this was a problem prior to surgery and in fact was one of the main reasons I chose to get my vision corrected. 

Halos continue to be an issue. I think the halo intensity is as strong as it ever was but I've learned to live with them. I am able to drive at night without a problem. The time they bother me the most is in movie theaters. I wear my TV watching glasses for theaters.

So, I guess 'stable' is the best way to describe my vision state. Glad to report it. Happy Anniversary to me. :)
