Question by Susan: Cataracts at 59 yrs old after corneal erosion problem?
1 year ago had corneal erosion in left eye, cause unknown, treated with steroids for eye by opthamologist. since then eyesight got real bad. re-examined by opthamologist, said need surgery for cataracts in affected eye-likely caused by steroid treatment. right eye has gone from near sighted to far sighted and affected eye just hard to see out of- with any glasses or correction. (also, i tested negative for diabetes). since both eyes seem to have something changing, wondering if it could be anything but cataracts causing problems and changes and should i get a 2nd opinion before surgery. no insurance so all out of pocket.

From what you’ve said it sounds as if cataracts seem to be the dominating issue seeing as how you’ve already treated the corneal erosion.
Second opinions are never a bad idea even though everything is out of pocket. But better to pay the office fee and be confident in your decision regarding cataract surgery, because heavens knows that isn’t cheap.
