[QUOTE="donna723, post: 690070, member: 1883"] I had always thought of cataracts as something that just very old people got. But since I was diagnosed with them a few years ago, I've heard of people in their 40's and 50's getting them. I've probably had them developing for several years and didn't know it. I kind of suspected it in my right eye because there is a bit of a haze that I kept trying to clean off of my glasses. It's worse in a bright light or when I'm driving on a sunny day. I could tell I had the one on my right eye but the doctor says there's also one on the left eye. At first the doctor wanted me to go ahead and schedule the surgery. But at my next appointment he said they hadn't gotten any bigger, weren't growing, so the surgery became "optional". I can go ahead and have it if they get to the point that they bother me. I didn't even realize that I had one on the left eye but the ophthalmologist says it's there. And as far as I know, no one else in my immediate family has had them, or if they did, they didn't know it. [/QUOTE]
