are you short sighted (physically)?

[abstrktion]

I was VERY near-sighted until I had surgery about ten years ago. Best thing I ever did. The only thing I miss is the way the outside world sort of fell away after I'd taken my contacts out. It was relaxing not to "see" for a while--allowed me to more easily turn inward. :-)

Btw-the surgery was easy and almost painless. I was shocked that I could see--even through the goopy eye drops--right away.

I don't know about psychological causes for poor eyesight--seems like sometimes we can read too much into a thing. I'd say that physical limitations seem more of a per-incarnative choice that funnels us into particular activities so we can have the experiences we wanted. I LOVED swimming and water, until my eyes went bad. I didn't like not being able to see, so I swam less and ended up having different interests.
