I have been waiting for my cataracts to get bad enough to do the surgery for about 8 years now, The last optometrist here in Decatur responded to my question about when to have the surgery. She said the same thing the great eye doc I used in Rockport told me... When we cannot cannot correct to 20\20 with glasses then it will be time to risk the eye surgery. The risk is very low but it still has risk. My son had the lenses replaced in his eyes about 15 years ago since his eyes were terrible even with glasses. He made about 15 years before he started needing glasses again. He is not the first person I know to find out that their eyes keep on aging even with lens replacement surgery, However the aging changes are normally a lot slower than the cataract caused changes, When it is time, I will be ready; for the lens replacement surgery, By the way my glasses at the Walmart stores are usually about $300 drive out for tri focals.

I only had to wait for five years. When I got my last drivers license renewal it was five years ago and I had a doctor's exam at that time and the doctor said I had a slight cataract but nothing to worry about right now. Then the doctor today said, I had something to worry about.

Each of my friends who have had the surgery are very happy with the results. I seem to think they had to limit some activities during recovery, though, so you might ask about that as well.

Thank you Linda that's good advice. I read on the Internet that cataract surgery is the most performed surgery in the United States, but I didn't realize that I was going to be in that statistic. I always thought that cataract surgery was for really, really, old geezers like the old fat man, not for young seniors like me. But here I am, soon to be 75, and already I've become afflicted with old people's problems.
