Cataract Surgery - I Don't Want One - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Back about 20 yrs ago, I was in my 60's I was told by an eye doc that cataracts were coming....so I got to work and upped the Vit C, got on board with Lutein and stayed for sure with Grape Seed Extract I had been taking already...

Well now at almost 85, over 20 yrs later, I have started to have blurry issues in my right eye.

I've added homeopathic drops and just found a new product Natural Opthalamics RX Cataracts. I'm on this new one about a week and too soon to know IF they are doing a good job. I DO NOT WANT eye surgery. Yeah I know millions are done.

I post this here as some of you may already are being told that cataracts are doming. Younger people have these issues too.

And yes I know some here don't care what I post, but I still do. There are people out there who are Open to good info.

And there are other reasons for these surgeries: injuries being one, my daughter at 10 yrs old was hit by a paper clip sling shot and the doc had to wait until she was 18 to do a surgery.

Oh, I hope my position on this health issue isn't considered political.

Yeah I don't want it either. My cousin had problems with his surgery

If I'm 85, I'm not having any surgery. I'm going with what I got.

I started getting cataracts in my 40's. I just had my second eye done. It's amazing how clear my vision is now. I tried to avoid it, but I had it done and I'm glad. But I know of people who have had problems after the surgery. I'm glad I wasn't one of them. Before I tried homeopathic eye drops for cataracts, but you had to take them for what seemed like years. And they weren't cheap. The surgery was a snap, it only takes 15, 20 minutes. I was very nervous, I have white coat anxiety, but I'm glad it's all over.

My neighbor had problems with the surgery and then a couple yrs later went to another eye clinic and had them redone and she is ok now.

Another friend had issues, but she is gone now....so.

American cultuer is surgery and in all my work of finding alternatives to surgery, insurance pays NADA, but they pay for the surgery culture......

I'm glad I kept my eyes healthy and that the blurry issue waited until I was 84, ha ha
