with the onset of cataracts your vision would be more like trying to look through a dirty window

It is only "black spot" when I am looking at nothing but sky glow. If I look at saturn say through this spot, it looks out of focus and like seeing 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

Don't really have a regular optometrist, I might call up my cancer doctor and maybe he can recommend someone he knows.

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
|
That seems to be the only upshot: my short sightedness can get fixed! Mine is pretty sever.

Hope your new hips are doing well
Mine are pretty good, sometimes I forget I have them. If they lasted for 20 years 25 years ago, these ones these days should just about out last us
Thank you for the advice Pat,
Steve
