The concept of 'You are what you eat' comes to mind. If you surround yourself with losers you will continue to fail. But of course the opposite is also true!

That's great news. The fact that you can see blurry without a lens is what counts. I just had final visit following cataract surgery on both eyes Wednesday and that surgery is essentially removing a bad lens and putting a new one in. The difference with my new lenses is amazing. Sounds like a great prognosis to me.
