Can I really see better if this happens?...oh yeah there's details.?

about 6 years ago I moved to Oregon and began having severe siezures, the first of which was violent and I fell and jammed my glasses through my left lower orbit on the upper cheekbone. since then my left eye's sight just sucks. I'm 52 and an illustrator/artist. On top of that I have diabetes type 2 (just since then) and summarily I've kinda had to retire with jobs on my easel which has kinda pissed some people off. Anyway, through all of this, I've gone through 7 severe siezures and about 200 other smaller siezures until about October 1st 2010 when I was hospitalized for another severe siezure, I went to a huge hospital in Portland oregon where they found some new stuff goin on and treated me for it. Since then only two small siezures. So in January I get all new glasses and maybe a thing called "a cornea re-shaping"...I have no idea if this will work but I'd like to know if anyone else knows what the hell it is. Now, it sounds suspicious to me and my insurance is a kinda county thing and I'm on disability. I know alot of stuff about medicine but not a thing about optical stuff except that my present glasses just plain suck. I'd like to be able to paint again and be able to get off disability one day but if my prospects of having decent vision are based on "being an American in the depression"....then what's the point?....I painted for a living the better part of 33 years and so now due to this epilepsy crap, I'm forcefully retired (unwillingly) and kinda housebound and afraid to go around anywhere that I'm too far from a hospital....So if I get new glasses in january, are my prospects of seeing better just a shoirt term fix or better than that,...anybody got a clue?.prefferably someone that actually knows about this kinda thing?...Id appreciate an honest opinion.
