The reason I started using a magnifying glass due to early symptoms of presbyopia, and now I want to have LASIK surgery.

I started using reading glasses in my late 50s. That day, just like before, I took the newspaper and went into the bathroom to read.

It was frustrating because I couldn't see the small print.

I thought this might be a precursor symptom that requires using a magnifying glass.

So in the afternoon, I went to the ophthalmology clinic, and they introduced me to an optometry shop, saying that time cannot be helped, and the doctor smiled.

When I went to the optician, they asked about the premonitory symptoms and mentioned that presbyopia had occurred, recommending a magnifying glass. They emphasized that even having premonitory symptoms is important because it can help prevent further deterioration of vision, and stressed the necessity of premonitory symptoms in presbyopia.

At that time, LASIK surgery had not yet become widespread, so magnifying glasses were the trend. I was working at a company then and prepared four magnifying glasses to avoid mistakes: one kept at the office, one at home, one in the car, and one in my possession.

Fortunately, my vision is relatively around 0.8.

It was okay, so I didn't feel any inconvenience in daily life even without wearing glasses in normal times, and I was able to live without feeling any discomfort.

However, as I age, my eyesight worsened to about 0.5, making it necessary to wear a magnifying glass more often, which increased inconvenience. Especially in winter, when I am outside and then go indoors to urgently look at documents, the magnifying glass fogs up, making it difficult to see for a few minutes.

I had no choice but to become illiterate, and my friends around me—some wearing glasses or using magnifying glasses—began to get LASIK surgery one by one, which made me start to seriously consider LASIK surgery as well.

I will diligently analyze the recommended hospitals from Cashdoc and get LASIK surgery done this spring.
