I would guess reshaping of the cornea (e.g. LASIK), with cataract surgery a backup nominee. Whichever, I'm glad it went well!

No, but I was starting to go blind; one cataract fiber at a time.

I can think of worse.

The mafia poked your eyes out to teach you a lesson?
You watched the sun directly for an extended period?
You witnessed the flash of a nuclear explosion?

Technically the first and third options are still "gone blind" I suppose, but more detailed about the reason. And the second option is just plain nasty, constantly teasing you with partial sight only around the edges.

To my mind, the reading glasses contraindicated blindness. They wouldn't serve any functional purpose, and glasses worn for cosmetic purposes usually have dark lenses.

I guessed corneal reshaping because it's common, but not recommended for slight corrections. Visual problems like myopia are usually progressive, so the procedure might become worthwhile after many years.

I also guessed cataract surgery because of "after 53 years" since cataracts are usually one of those things people get if they live long enough -- plus your mention of reading glasses. My mom had worn glasses from childhood until her cataract surgery, after which she only needed reading glasses.

Again, I'm glad it went well!

I recently got a new laptop with a six-core processor and a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti GPU. It's mainly for autonomous driving research but will certainly be crunching for GIMPS when not in use.
