cataracts?

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.

Cataract surgery is not the ordeal it was years ago, in case you're worried about that. My big brother had one removed 3 or 4 years ago. He called a few days later and said "Gee, the world is a colorful place now, did you mess with the saturation?"

Eyes are tricky - it could be a cataract, or something else. Get thee to the doc ASAP, the earlier these things are caught, the better the outcome.

Dad, over the past year-or-so, has been battling "the big 3" - glaucoma, macular degeneration and slight cataracts. They have new treatments, especially for the macular degeneration, and his vision is now better than it's been in a while - he needed new glasses this fall!
