Default Cataracts

Roger; I had my right eye done at 62 and the left at 68. The 21st century job on the left was quicker and easier than getting a tooth filled. The cataract surgury only removes the lens; it does not change the shape of the eye. Your old glasses should still fit.

I had an interesting experience with the right eye. The cataract was dead center, and I could see everything but the thing I was looking at. I could pick up the trap bird, set the swing and hit it, even though I couln't see it when I fired. I shot trap until the week before the cataract was removed and maintained my A classification for the season.

Best, Austin
