I am not sure if this avoids the problem of age related presbyopia. A surgeon from Harley Street, who also worked with Moorfields at the time said that they were working on solutions that allowed for more room in the eye for accommodation. So if the short sightedness is cured you may need glasses for close work :( Stay on your feet and press on Take care Richard Treatment for cataracts is usually very successful and as you alluded it is now possible to have a prescription lens in place to help.

I thought mine were getting better, but there is still some (possinly irreversible) damage to my cornea. More serious are the cataracts, which mean that slowly but surely I am going blind. Fortunate really that modern medicine allows that to be treated!. They are indeed! I thought mine were getting better, but there is still some (possinly irreversible) damage to my cornea.

Changes are bittersweet, especially when it involves our relationships, but I believe that they happen for a reason and there is no looking or turning back! Can't wait to hear about your Istanbul trip. I always think a spot of travelling works wonders for discovering new horizons and the soul, so get that travel book out and start discovering the new wonders in this world. All the best, and looking forward to reading about your new year and your new you.
