Well, my vision in one eye is 20/50 right now. I'm in no hurry to get the surgery done, infact, I'd really rather not have it done at all.

I realize you say yours only happens every so often, not a constant thing like mine was, but I did go ahead and make an eye appointment. Found out I have cataracts, which is causing the blurred vision. The dr said...
