cataracts?

[davidpizzica]

My right eye has been cloudy for a little while. I think I might have a cataract. It's real blurry and it's like looking through a very dirty window. Does this mean it's a cataract? Has anyone else had one? I'm starting to be very concerned.

Best to see your eye doc...and Google on cataracts

The surgery for them these days is really straightforward, if required.

(I was thinking about the old joke about putting Windex in your drinks so your vision stays clear...but never mind.)

Get it checked out, then you'll know for sure.

Get a vision exam, if you haven't had one for a while. When you get to be *a certan age*, it's best to stay on top of your eye health. We had ours a couple months ago and my husband learned he is developing a cataract, but the doc says it'll be years before he has significant problems. right now I guess it's just making his vision a little yellow. As Catty1 says, they have amazing surgery now for cataracts, it's not like it used to be.

David it sounds very much like a cataract. Or it could be something with your cornea itself. Either way, a trip to the opthlamologist sounds in order.

Also, I seem to remember that you are diabetic? So it's important to keep after any eye troubles. Good luck!

I have no experience with cataracts per say, although a relative did have them. The only thing I would suggest is a trip to the eye doctor as soon as possible. I do know though that the sooner they catch them the better your chances of treatment.
