Steve,
Sorry to hear about your situation, I have a family member who also has cateracts. But good to hear you beat the big C, and I am sure you will beat the cateracts. The cateract surgery has been around for a long long time.
Anyway about a month back I herd of a new simplified cateracts process using some new machine. This was on 2gb radio night program, there was a chap one who had been to some Confrence in Sydney on new technology in Eye surgery. Then more recently I was told that the current affairs programs on TV were talking about it.
