Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Sher: No, I'm not saying that as I don't know what your situation is or what your doctor is doing. However, what I am saying is with today's technology that is possible. I'm saying that in discussions with my Opthalmologist, prior to IPF, he was stating that when my cataracts reached the point for surgery they would be able to use the intraocular implant to improve my vision to the best its been in 45 or 50 years if not to glasses free. I wear extremely thick glasses and even with correction,although technically I'm seeing 20/20 or 20/30 things are so reduced that I don't see well. And, that is at least partially correctible with intraocular. For those without cataracts who want to get rid of glasses it is the preferred means over lasik for those over 50 and probably those over 40. It is believed by some it will ultimately replace lasik altogether but thats a minority belief at this time. > > > > > > Irene...although you think nothing is broken, you could have > > chipped a bone... > > > Pain indicates something is wrong.
