During Glaucoma surgery, one eye at a time, my doctor surprised me by correcting my nearsightedness and astigmatism. I think she said she had changed the shape of my eyeball(s). The surgeries were approximately a year apart. After the first one my brain couldn't process the major differences in vision. I tried removing the right lens of my glasses...didn't work. I was having trouble wearing contacts, so that wasn't an option. Finally I substituted brown contact paper for the right eyeglass lens. My frames were tortoise shell colored, light brown. When I'd go shopping, I could tell people were looking at me strangely as they approached me. I thought that from a distance it probably looked like I only had one eye since the glasses frame and contact paper were similar to the color of my skin. Fancying myself as a music Diva, I chose the name OneEyedDiva.
