Hi @MSuki
I was born very nearsighted so was in glasses at 4 years old and then into bifocals in my early 30s. I added separate middle vision computer glasses about 10 years ago.
My surgeon agreed with my desire to keep being somewhat near sighted. She somewhat improved my vision in the first surgery, and on the second, gave me even somewhat better. The upshot is, for close up work, reading, and most middle vision I don't need glasses. I have new plain distance lenses in my glasses for videos, driving, etc.
The orthotics... an adjustment but not so far on muscles. I walked over a mile in them yesterday, day 3, and there's a new soft tissue pain at the base of two toes on one foot. It's unclear if the problem is the orthotic per se or if the shoe isn't the right fit for it. I definitely have to buy new shoes.
