or wrong... for example, the cataract thing.... they don't know ANYTHING about this.... so what does she have? A cataract operation, and more prescription drugs that may actually stimulate the production of future cataracts by creating specific nutrient deficiencies. I pity the fool who ever tells me "you're just getting older, these things are a naturally ocurring life event". I pity the fool.

Cataracts and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are the leading causes of visual impairment and acquired blindness in the U.S., and are key quality of life issues among millions of aging Americans.

* Approximately 10 million Americans suffer from early signs of AMD and almost a half million people have significant visual loss from late-stage AMD.
* Cataract extractions are the most common surgical procedure performed in the U.S., accounting for more than 2 million procedures each year. It has been estimated that if the progression of cataracts could be delayed by 10 years, the number of cataract extraction surgeries per year would be reduced by 45 percent.
