hello steve a real bum rap youve been dealt there mate
anyhow i am an optician in perth and i just want to make sure of the description of your vision
i want to make sure that you dont actually have a "black patch" in your central vision as this is eye pressure related and is very bad
with the onset of cataracts your vision would be more like trying to look through a dirty window
if i were you i would not go straight to an opthamologist instead go see your regular optometrist
the reason being eye surgeons specialise in certain areas like glaucoma or cararacts and your optometrist SHOULD do your shopping for you
i have a good friend and iis member that is very excited about the onset of his cataracts because the new intraocular lenses can fix his 1.5 diptres of astigmatism - no glasses
by the way i am 48 this year and i am on my second replacement hip the first was when i was 23 though misadventure was the cause
good luck steve
pat
