Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Hey, Matt, it's good to hear from you. Wow, that's great news about the extra money. Do you get to keep it? For me, the cataracts were a blessing. Both surgeries were a piece of cake, no pain. First time in my life that I can see well without glasses or contacts. I still need reading glasses, but I can drive & do everything else fine. I wear my bifocals most of the time because I got tired of taking the reading glasses off & on. So this is one effect of the Prednisone that I don't regret. I hope your surgery goes well. Is it one or both eyes?

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Matt I've had cataract surgery on both of my eyes & it was a piece of cake! If only dental work was that painless I wouldn't have put it off so many times & had a few of my choppers left. grannylunatic@... __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 , I know that sarc can cause glaucoma & I think it can cause cataracts also. We'll have to wait for our eye expert Tracie to tell us for sure.
