Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hey Mike, I had my cataracts, that right both eyes removed about 4 years ago. I was in my late 40s when I had the surgery...Damn I have turned into my parents...lol If you have any questions give me a call.surgery is simple and quick. I had some lens implants done so I was able to lose my glasses. Good Luck Bernie _____ From: texasems-l [mailto:texasems-l ] On Behalf Of Hatfield Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 1:06 AM To: texasems-l Subject: Cataract So, I am at the Ophthalmologist the other day, I went in for slightly blurred vision and walked out with the diagnosis of a 'traumatic cataract' to the left eye. Surgery is the 28th That sucks Just wanted to vent that out, I have properly induced an alcohol state which will allow me to fend off the 'old' jokes..

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hey Mike, I don't know what the statistics are for Jewish men, but over 78% of Japanese men have cataracts. The rest of them drive either Rincolns or Rexuses. <G> Cataract So, I am at the Ophthalmologist the other day, I went in for slightly blurred vision and walked out with the diagnosis of a 'traumatic cataract' to the left eye.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Yo Mike yea that does suck but hell my Grand Mother had hers taken out like 20 years ago and was driving better by the following week! Maybe those folks on the sidewalks will be safer now? In any case just be a good patient and all that stuff but get better and get back to being the same old whatever you were before. LNM Louis N.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Thanks for the words of support encouragement and humor. I don't think it's the surgery that bothers me nearly as much as the fact that it makes me feel old....and I assure you that my 2 teenage sons DO NOT miss an opportunity to gig me. So far, they have gotten me a pirate patch, my partner is already calling me gramps, and another shift got me a walking stick.. My hit list is getting longer each day..:-) The only good thing is that my female friend has invited me to Brownsville for a few days of R & R, I think I will take her up on it... I think perhaps it might be time to look at the Rexus too..:-) Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, they have gotten me a pirate patch, my partner is already calling me gramps, and another shift got me a walking stick.. on the other hand, there are some interesting advantages... The natural crystalline lens has a slight yellowish color (think 'Blu Blocker' sunglasses) that increases as we age... One of the first thing that many intra ocular lens replacement patients report is that all shades of blue are more vivid, and they can distinguish more shades of purple and violet. IIRC, some studies have documented vision into the near UV range...potentially dangerous long term (damage to the retina), but unless you do something stupid (not wearing goggles in the sun bed), probably not a significant risk. ck S.
