How can cataract growth be accelerated? The eye doctor just called and said she looked at my photos again and wants to send me to a retina specialist because there’s something suspicious looking and I have a history of cancer.

Steroid drops can accelerate cataract growth. Actually what they do is start a different type of cataract in the back of the others that grow very quickly. That’s how I got mine.

That’s interesting, I didn’t know retinas had anything to do with cancer. I’m at high risk of a retina Detachment, especially now after having had cataract surgery, so my ears always perk up when I hear anything about retinas. I hope you can get in soon.
