I have brown eyes, have worn glasses since I was about 9 or 10. Tried contact lenses a few times. Couldn't stand the hard ones, shortly after I discovered soft ones, I found out I had glaucoma and cataracts. Two surgeries (one in each eye, several months apart) were performed to correct both conditions at once each time. Afterward, I didn't need glasses again for almost 10 years because she also corrected my distance vision and astigmatism. That started reverting slowly so I've been wearing glasses again for a few years.
