The problem with cataracts is the gradual change in eye functionality. This then allows the brain to compensate for the change and for you not to notice how bad your eyes have become. As a diabetic I have my eyes checked every 6 months and it was easy for my opthalmologist to see the cataracts forming. Most people, unfortunately, only see Drs when something is noticeably wrong.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your sharing your experience. I was using as my guide to whether my eyes had changed how well my eyeglasses showed the night sky. And for 30 years or more, the sky looked pretty good and my scrip remained pretty much unchanged. So I knew for most of that time that I had nothing much to worry about. I can't honestly say that even with the cataracts I saw any difference in the night sky through eyeglasses. But my scrip finally changed this time, as I went from being short sighted to long sighted - apparently I've been pushing my eyes to see the sky as dots. whereas I am supposed to see the star dots with relaxed eyeballs with the new scrip.
I paid the extra $60 to get the OPSM eye scan. And the good part of the eye testing was that I had no issue at all with bleeding arteries in the retina, which is the main problem for diabetics.
Cheers,
Renato
