Just went in for an eye exam as my vision has changed a bit from my last prescription from about 10 years ago. I only have ever needed glasses for occasional use and for the last 10 years I only wear prescription glasses for flying or if driving at night on long trips. Been noticing it has become a bit tougher lately to see far off road signs even with my excellent squinting techniques or with my old prescription glasses/sunglasses.
Of course at 57, I also now have to use old man cheaters for reading small print. Lol
That said, my eye doctor shocked me by telling me I now have cataracts that are at a level 2 (with 4 being the worst rating). She said I don't have to have surgery, but that eventually I will want to. Yuck....
Anyone here had the surgery? Sounds scary having your eyes cut open to replace the lens with new plastic ones.
This getting old crap does not sit well with me. Thus far my only heath issue is slightly high blood pressure and I have never been on any medications. Cholesterol, blood sugar etc are always excellent and I stay reasonably fit, but I get do find myself less limber and I get pretty sore any time I do any kind of hard physical activity. Dang it.... I am not OK with the thought of turning into a broken old man.
