Thread Name: BS: Help: early stage cataracts
Subject: BS: Help: early stage cataracts
So I had a visit with the "Optometric Physician" (new fancy-pants name for the Optometrist) yesterday. He says I have early stage cataracts. He said that sun-glasses and special vitamins might help prevent or slow down further development of the cataracts.

Anybody around here have any experience with early stage cataracts? Any success with slowing them down or stopping them? Any advice about things that have worked for you besides sunglasses and vitamins?

This is sort of a music related thread. If I go blind, I'll have to find a way to remember the chords for the bass side of my accordion instead of using sheet music to help me remember. And with the creeping CRS I've been dealing with, that's not always easy to do.

Plus, I wouldn't be able to see my sweety's amazing face any more:

Amazing face
How sweet the eyes
That gaze with love
On me

I once had sight
But now I'm blind
You're there but I can't see...

(Ohhhhh, the irony... )
