Medical Forum / General / Vision / March 2009Cataracts
My SO has known she will have to deal with a cataract in her right eye sooner or later. She already wears contacts of the 30day type. Yesterday she was able to read a book and see clearly with no problems. Today she changed her contacts and everything was out of focus, blurry. She went in to see her eye doc and was told she would have to go for cataract surgery to correct this problem. She was surprised about the sudden abrupt change in vision and was wondering if this is what really happens. Thanks for your input al Cataracts don't change overnight. Did your SO try another pair? -MT > My SO has known she will have to deal with a cataract in her right eye > sooner or later. She already wears contacts of the 30day type.

I suggested she put back in her previous pair, but they had already been tossed. I did check the package markings and they were consistent with what was on the box. She had also tried swapping L<>R lenses with no improvement. al Bad lenses are rare, out of the box. But after 40, if that's her demographic, near vision with contacts is pretty fragile and seldom great at the best of times. It might be she depends on just one eye to read and one bad lens could be causing all this trouble. They won't refund on an open box so it only makes sense to try another pair, or another "near" lens if that's how she does it. It's only cataract if glasses are blurry too. Does she remember where her glasses are? -MT On Mar 24, 5:57 am, "Mike Tyner" <mty...@mindspring.com> wrote: > Cataracts don't change overnight. > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > > al No, she had not.
