Found out yesterday I have cataracts in both eyes

My father is going to have this surgery in the next couple of months. He gave me a forewarning I think I should share.

His doctor stated that any cuts or damage to the eye increase your chances of cataracts. My father years ago had a surgery to correct his vision called RK, I believe. This was before LASIK became so standard around here. His doctor said because of these type of procedures, the cuts to the eye to correct vision, there will be far more cataract surgeries in the future.

I had thought about lasik surgery but had already ruled it out because of the horror stories when it goes wrong. A very very low percentage but I am not willing to gamble my eyesight. I gave this piece of info to a friend before his consult and when he asked them about this. He said they gave that strange deer in the headlight look before giving what he called a scripted response.

Thought I would share for those considering corrective eye surgery
