        I went to the eye doctor (MD) today to have my cataracts measured and found out they are bad enough to have removed but the doctor said “I am going to tell you something you won’t like”. I said what ? He told me I have to have my contacts out for 30 DAYS before they can get an accurate measurement on the cataracts for removal. I am blind as a bat without them. I have worn contacts for almost 50 years. I am typing this with my nose 2″ from the screen. I have a pair of glasses but they are probably 20 – 25 years old and I only use them once in a great while late at night to see TV or something. I go back on April 30th and they will probably do the first eye a week later and the 2nd two weeks after that. The doctor says after that my vision will be better than ever. I hope so. No contacts is suffering

            Oh no!! I know that you might be able to get some updated glasses for relatively cheap. Good luck in the mean time!!

              Darjeb– and anyone else with vision problems:
              You can easily increase the size of text (and images) on the internet!!
              While browsing the internet… Simply PRESS and HOLD the [ CTRL ] Button on your keyboard, then tap the + (plus) key. Each time you tap it, it will magnify!
              To make it smaller again, Press and HOLD [ CTRL ] and tap the – (minus) key.

              It is very easy to do and quick too!!

                Sorry about the news. I hope you can get some new glasses in the meantime. I am glad that you can get your vision fixed. Too bad its not sooner, though. 😀
