[QUOTE="John6185, post: 3307245, member: 25679"] I remember when they took out the cataract (lens) and then gave the patient a +12.00 diopter pair of glasses. The focal point was dead center in the glasses and they weighed heavily on the nose. I remember when I was a small child and was playing on the sidewalk and an old grandma type lady came up and she had those glasses on and it scared me to death and I ran away. I'd never seen anything like it in my young life. Fortunately medical science has overcome the removal of the lens of the eye called aphakia. When people have cataracts, the lenses in their eyes get cloudy and stiff. Once they are removed, the people have aphakia. The word comes from Latin words which mean "no lenses." When the lens of the eye is very "mature" regarding cataracts and one waits too long, the lens becomes hard and stiff and complicates the removal which of course makes the surgery more of a risk. So don't wait too long! [/QUOTE]
