Thread Name: BS: Help: early stage cataracts
Subject: RE: BS: Help: early stage cataracts
Keep a check on them Carol, but they may not go anywhere. Several years ago, my ophthalmologist said that he noticed very early stage cataracts. He said that I didn't need to be concerned for a good five or ten years, but we'd "keep an eye on them." (Weird turn of phrase) So far, nothing has developed. I fact, he can't find them now. The up-side is that my insurance company won't pay for regular eye-exams, but they will if he's checking for cataracts.

artbrooks's idea sounds like a good one. Better to find out one way or another than to spend years worrying. If you can't tolerate implants, this gives you time to work on Plan B. There's gotta be a way. . . .
