I had PRK eye surgery 12 years ago. Last week, overnight, my distance vision got blurry, and it's been that way ever since. I think I need to make my first eye appointment in ages.

Be ready to instantly need reading glasses if they touch you up.

I had lasik in 03, (FUCKING 03er!!!), and both got blurry, but the right eye was fine. Had the left touched up with PRK and I can see far away super sharp, but it's useless for reading closer than 1 foot away. Right eye is a touch blurry distance wise but I can read like a teenager.

For weight, I'm only in shape because I'm running away from insomnia (too cheap for Zzzzz pills), 6'2", 159 at my lowest, but up to 164 or so now.

I still don't need reading glasses but I can tell my distance vision isn't as good as it used to be. I think I'm one of the only ones in my office that doesn't go around with readers around their neck the entire day though. I think I'll finally start to feel old when I have to keep glasses with me, I have never had to wear glasses, ever. I might be fighting it harder because of that.

Yeah, thing is I have always been able to read fine, my near vision is perfect, but when I'm driving I'm like... I should be able to read that road sign from here...

I'm a fat fuck though, 6'3" 315lbs.

Holy fuck how skinny are you? I’m 6’1” and 184lbs. I could stand to loose like 5-7lbs tops.

My doctor had me on Zepbound. I used it for 2 months, got down to 270, but if I broke a sweat from exertion I felt like I was going to vomit. If I ate more than like.. a large banana, felt like I was going to vomit.

I lost a ton of weight, but also a ton of muscle mass as well, because I didn't want to do anything at all.

You're just going to lose muscle mass as you drop weight unless you use steroids, the balance of what your body burns as you cut is controlled by your hormone balance. If you are a "natural" (i.e. no steroids, no testosterone) your muscle mass is going to decrease right along with your fat and thats normal. Look at ... 99.999% of men prior to the 1950's, they were all basically skinny.

Big, lean, natural, pick 2. This is and has always been true.

I’d agree with this, mostly. But with time and a lot of effort, you can naturally get stronger and be lean. Just takes years where as gear gets you there in months and introduces tons of health problems.
