Re: Cataracts
Folk's, this is also an issue which is affecting me. Like Mollie, I also have a 'thing' about anyone poking about near my eye's, so I really do empathise with you, Mollie!.I was told by my Doc some three year's ago that I had the early stages of cataract's, but he also told me that it wasn't necessary to wait until they were fully mature, given the latest procedure's, and they could be sorted much sooner.
However, (due to my 'phobia'), I've been putting it off, but the vision in my right eye is now closely akin to looking through a lace curtain, and my lefvt one ain't much better...(I've had to give up driving, pro temp, until they're sorted!)...so it look's like I gotta just take my gut's in my hands...(not literally, you understand?)...an' get it done!.
You go for it, Mollie...which do you prefer, dear?...a coupla hour's at the Hozzie, or being blind for the rest of yer life?...(your call, me dear?).
