Experiencing double vision at sixty-seven years of age may not be anything new, but it certainly added to making my life more difficult than necessary. A new prescription every year only caused my glasses to grow in thickness, until finally the optician’s equipment could not read the prescription. For years I dealt with double vision which only grew worse as the years passed. Reading – following the lines of type across the printed – became impossible, and the headaches created by the strain of trying to read became severe. It got to the point where I completely gave up even trying to read. In stepped Dr. Rupa Wong of the Honolulu Eye Clinic with her skillful mind, hands, and eyes. Strabismus was a word I had not heard before, but I grew to know it well. Within minutes of waking up after Dr. Wong performed the surgery, I could plainly see the X on the wall from across the room – without glasses. That was a little over one year ago. Today, my eyesight is almost 20/20, even at great distances. Seeing well is no longer a hassle. Reading has become a new pastime, and I only use glasses to read the small printed words at the bottom of the television screen from across the room. And, I wear glasses for driving a car. Thank you, Dr. Wong!
