When Was Your Last Eye Exam ?

[catjac1975]

My eye Dr told me I had the very begining of a cataract in my right eye, I said I am too young he said sorry your not good luck

I am surprised by that statement. I keep hearing everyone over 50 has the beginning of cataracts.

Had cataract surgery. Best thing ever happened. You will lose some vision as you age-now wear bifocals. Detached retina thanks to cholesterol med.

Here, they take 5 minutes or less to do (for Doctor) and we were lined up like a mash unit. $8,000 a pop then-22 year’s ago.

Cholesterol meds cause detached retina?

Yeah, it reminded me of a car wash.

I hope that this will all be an improvement, @jackb . The healthcare people have many people taking these steps and that is an encouragement.

Aside from grandparents' views on the infants in their families , we all start off different in every way, despite arbitrary measures of perfection. To be human is to be arbitrary, I suppose. Should be a noun with more meaning than
arbitrary (plural arbitraries) Anything arbitrary, such as an arithmetical value or a fee.

Drifting off topic!

There are 2019 standards on measurements coming from the international scientific organizations. Metric ... kilogram, etc. I'm wondering how arbitrary these were, may yet be, and what influence new standards have on the colonial system used in the US.

Using the metric system is incomplete in about 30 places including the Big 3 Liberia, Burma and the US. Of course, most of the other 27 are US territories. It may not make much difference to the current situation since ~ somehow ~ the colonial measures are linked to the metric.

(Current ... amperage ... has changed. Feeble play on words .)

Miss Ava told me she is going to have a hard time adjusting to seeing me without glasses. I told her I could poke the lenses out of my old glasses and wear the frames when she was here and that got a laugh out of her.

I need to keep an eye on that (no pun intended haha) as my Dr. told me last year I am getting the beginnings of cataracts. I looked into them a little and found 3 different ones with of course 3 different prices. I think the most expensive ones were $3,000 and not sure how much insurance covers.

But don't hold your breath.

Cholesterol meds cause detached retina?

Yes. Was suppose to raise my good cholesterol but it changes your eye. Eye specialist said that med sends him a lot of patients.

Can not put a price on eye sight

Is it just the one you take or all of them?
