Found out yesterday I have cataracts in both eyes

Ouch...that sucks V

I didn't have that much exposure to sun when I was younger, but did have tons of hours looking at numbers on spreadsheets. Seems like my near vision gets worse every damn year. Oh, and I am getting lots of sun NOW...whoops

Hope the corrective actions you're taking help to stave off the surgery

Hi Cherry,

I'm the same age and going through the same thing. With me it was the sun on the snow that hurt me the worst when I worked outdoors. Working later in life with puters all the time likely didn't help either. Never bothered with sunglasses, never thought about it.
An older friend had the surgery though, said it didn't take long and they just do one eye at a time. In and out, no sweat. Says he sees better now than he ever has.
Hope it works out that well for you!
