re: "I wore glasses from the age of 4, and never would consider any surgery. At about 50, I developed cataracts, and ended up having both lenses replaced. Both eyes are fine now, but I would never have had any surgery if it had not been a choice of surgery or blindness."

I was down to legally blind coming into 2018 and very little sight by the time March-April rolled around ... had to call a friend to drive me to get groceries because I was down to using a cane to walk safely but my walking pace was really slow! It was amazing how fast these cataracts progressed as they became worse.

Successful cat surgery by Jeffrey Whitman, M.D., President and Chief Surgeon of the Key-Whitman Eye Center did wonders in July and August to left and right eyes respectively. Full sight now exc left eye needs a bit of lens for all distances and the right only for close-up ...

Praise be to God and thank you Dr Whitman!

Very glad you had such good results. I ended up with good distance vision in both eyes, but I’ll always need glasses to read. The doctor says the new lenses might eventually get protein deposits that can be removed with a laser, but no sign of that yet after more than 10 years.

Really makes you appreciate eyesight, doesn’t it?
