I WAS FITTED WITH HARD CONTACTS WHEN I WAS 16

i WAS FITTED WITH HARD CONTACTS WHEN i WAS 16 (1961 AND USED THESE (NOT SAME PAIR) UNTIL 1994 WHEN THE EYE DR TOLD ME i NEEDED SOFT CONTACTS. i TRIED THEM BUT HAD A PROBLEM REMOVING THEM (THEY WOULD GO BEHIND ON MY EYELIDS) AND HE THEN PUT ME IN GLASSES WITH NO LINE AND i GOT HEADACHES WHICH i NEVER GET. SO i GOT VERY DISCOURAGED AND STARTED USING READING GLASSES WHICH WORKED FINE UNTIL RECENTLY. i REALLY WONDER IS THERE EYE AN EYE PROCEDURE THAT CAN GIVE PEOPLE 20/20 VISION WITH NO READING GLASSES REQUIRED? i HAVE NO PROBLEM DRIVING WITHOUT GLASSES OR WATCHING TV BUT i SEEM TO BE HAVING MORE ISSUES SEEING THE TV WHEN SOME SMALL BULLETIN COMES ACROSS THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.
MY CURRENT AGE IS 71 1/2 AND i JUST RETIRED END OF 2015. juST DON;T KNOW WHAT TYPE OF DR i SHOULD BE GOING TO FOR AN EYE EXAMAND WHAT TYPE OF SPECIALTY I MIGHT NEED I.E. LASER, LASIK, ETC.
