I was offered to do the cataract surgery, which I have but not bad and decided against it for fear of problems from surgery. After all, it is my eyes! Yet I know this surgery is quite commonly done with good results.

I just read where Bryan Kohberger has had problems with visual snow for years and it was making him quite upset. I don’t excuse the guy for his murderous rampage but point out imaging if one had visual problems to distraction like that, all the time, constant.

I feel sorry for this poor cop.

I'm not too sure of this being the reason for suicide. I'd look elsewhere.

First of all...they never door both eyes at the same time.

I only use my glasses to drive and my ophthalmologist was surprised to find I have the same vision I did when I was 18 years old.

My two sisters and father, wore their glasses full time and they cannot unwear them now. It makes me think that you will preserve your eyesight by not wearing eyeglasses when you don’t need to.

The ophthalmologist tells me I’m wrong, but I don’t think I am.

A friend had cataract surgery, caused vision problems.
He lost his pilot’s license as a result. Did not kill himself.
He found another job.

I had these type of symptoms, probably to a lesser degree, upwards of a year after my Lasik surgery. After that, no problems.

One thing a doctor is not going to mess with is my eyes.

A friend of my daughter’s had this done a few years ago. He lost 100% of his sight in what is considered a rare complication. So very very sad

A good friend of mine experienced something similar (just not the suicide part). She had LASIK surgery done, and soon after started experiencing constant headaches. No doctor could relieve the pain.

I’m trying hard not to blame the victim here. But my friend went the cheapest route possible. She chose a doctor who advertised a deep discount deal on local radio.

When it comes to your eyes, better to put doctor competency first and price second.

I’ve worn glasses for 53 years.

Never thought it was worth the risk of being the 1 in whatever odds of suffering the severe Lasik complications that this poor kid did.

Look up Dr. BARBARA O’NEIL on Youtube.

She claims you can reduce a cataract by using Castor Oil on a cotton ball on your eyelids at bedtime.

She also claims you can use castor oil on bone spurs to dissolve them.

Our medical community is focused on raping you of any and all funds you have.

70% of all meds taken on this planet are taken by Americans.

Why are we so sick?

Or are they making us sick to increase their profits?
