Cataracts Treatment

Last night i fell asleep with my contacts on and this morning when i took them off to wear my glasses my left eye was irritated it was very red so i put some clear eye drops it was still bugging me a lot so i went to check my eye in the mirror and i looked closely and saw a small little white dot in my eye in the color part of my eye i thought it was like something that got in my eye so i tried removing it with my finger and it didn’t move then i realized its on my eye like a spot, I’m scared do i have cataracts? I have been wearing glasses since i was 13 im turning 17 this june, i’ve been wearing cotacts since i was 14 and a half, on july of 2007 i had my yearly eye exam and the doctor said i have astigmatism…..My uncle and both my grandmas have had cataract surgery, my dad has been wearing contacts and glasses for many many years now and hasn’t gotten cataracts so i dont know if it runs in the family or something…..please help!!!HELP!!! what do i do?

My father was recently diagnosed with cataracts in one eye and glycoma in the other. He is taking the eye drops from the Dr (when he remembers), with no healing progress. I am in more favor of home remedies, I just have no clue (other than eat more carrots) on whats helps these dieseases. Any suggests would help ALOT!

well 6 months ago i went to the eye doctor and her and my mom were talking.i have extremely bad eye sight and i wear glasses, i had a chance to get contacts but i just hate the fact of putting them in your eyes! so when i heard them say that im going to need surgery when im 18..its all i’ve been thinking about!! im only 13 but im really nervous!! does it hurt?i heard they numb your eyes with eye drops..and someone told me they put a needle in the white of your eye!?!?…and btw i have cataracts starting.(if you need to no)

So my dog got cataracts and so I spent $3,000 for him to have the surgery.
First off the 3k was for both eyes, it would have only been $1,500 for one eye, but both had the cataracts. THE point is, the doc said…oh well the lense was too thin for the one eye, so we couldnt fix it.
So now my dog can only see out of 1 eye, and runs into walls and things.
Then we go for our “follow up” visits which are $120 dollars for the visit and $130 for 4 bottles of eye drops that he needs.
So every month that is $250 dollars! Come on doc, you are killin me here.
Do I have the right to ask him for a price break or for a $1,500 refund of the one eye since he didnt fix that one? Or what should I do?

I have an 11 year old bunny, with cataracts from glaucoma. A vet suggested I use a eye drop I know I have used on my dog before. What are some names of anti-glaucoma drops used on rabbits? I would like to be armed with knowledge when I go to another vet…
