Kim writes in the forum:So, it’s been about 3 weeks now with my -4.25 (L) and -4.75 (R) normalized prescription. For a while now, I could only see around 20/50 and sometimes 20/40.

Snapchat, The General’s Son, & Paragliding In Nepal
A couple of months ago, I was invited to help the son of a prominent military general with his eyesight. It was a hell of a trip.Private planes, military escorts, pomp and circumstance.

And a decent paycheck.All that and you know what?The actual kid this was all for, could have cared less about his eyesight.Stark contrast to his dad, this [...]
