Opthalmologists of the OT

Does this sound plausible?

Very plausible. Those are classic AIDS symptoms.

Cataracts are pretty common. My Dad has them but they haven't progressed enough to where he needs surgery at this point.

Look into medical tourism.

I have the same and am scheduled for my first eye in two weeks. From what I understand, totally worth it to get the surgery early if you qualify.

If we all live long enough we’ll all need cataract surgery, some sooner than others…several different factors can speed them up…..and you can even be born with them.

But like the other OD said……. If an OD referred you instead of selling you glasses, you probably need surgery.

My 86 yr old MIL had cataract surgery and can see fairly well while using reading glasses only.

My 90 yr old FIL has worn glasses for close to 50 years and has needed cataract surgery for 10 years now. He doesn’t want to do it. A magnifying glass is his friend.

Co worker just had it done. Hates it...everything is too bright and since only one eye was done he sees color differently in each eye. Put it off as long as you can.

I just had my second eye done yesterday because of cataracts. My cataracts diffused the light so much that at times I couldn't see .... It was like an explosion of light.
It's a quick procedure. I chose to not be given anything to relax me and just went with a local anesthesia. A little weird watching but painless.
I need reading glasses but no more glasses for anything else. Can use binoculars again without taking off glasses.
So far no regrets.

I'm not an ophthalmologist but i am Presbyterian so I'm around a bunch of really old rich people. This fact saved me from losing sight in one eye due to a retinal tear. Anyway, they all, every single one, wish they'd gotten Cataract surgery a decade earlier than they did. If you're an OT baller you might consider going for the lens that allows for near sighted and farsighted correction...accomodating intraocular lens (aioc) is what I think its called.
