Cataracts Treatment

Question by Stareyes: My parents did not even call me to wish my Happy Birthday!?
Today is my birthday. My parents live in the same town that we do. They did not even call me to wish me Happy Birthday.

The relationship between me and them has been strained and distant lately, so I guess that I can expect this type of treatment.

But, I wonder about it. I do try and call for their birthdays and we go out to eat.

My mother had cataract surgery though yesterday and can not go out to eat tonight.

I feel funny and sad….I did not mention it at work also and so did not get wished or a cake.

Oh well, I guess that I am another year older.

Should I just feel that that is the way it is or say something to my parents? Maybe they are just trying to show me how they feel….

Family relationships can be difficult at times. She might just not feel good from the surgery. I find it a lot easier to be nice to my kids when they are nice to me. If you call them more often than you do they might call you more.
If she had cataract surgery she must be getting old so maybe forgefullness has set in. How are the teenagers doing?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! (((hugs)))

Question by leo c: I need advice on how to deal with my situation even though it a really stressful one?
Hello everyone! I’m a male, and I’m running through or it’s more likely walk through a list of etcetera problems. Yeah, I have been deal with it for a while and I try to make the best out of it. I still stay at my parents house it’s not the most glamorize thing out there but it’s still home to me. Both of them are senior citizens in their late 60’s. Yeah I have to deal with a lot of bills even though there not mine there my father’s bills. Even though he still working and his retired he still gets paid personal checks from his boss I help him out the most but it leaves me dead broke most of the times. I don’t go out that much even though I don’t have a lot of money to spend; a lot of my own money goes towards my car fixing it over and over again even though I’m still paying on it spending large amounts. Even though I work as pizza delivery driver it does damage to my car. Because of the issues with my car it stop me from going school again just make me think am I able to back school soon? And at the same time I want to help my mother out but she not doing no better because she a diabetic taking all types pills and incline and the cost of it, because of that being a diabetic it made her have cataract in both eyes even though she had the surgery done a few months back it came back again something I didn’t want to here! Even though I have to deal with it there nothing fun about it, cause of the issue my girl friend of a few years want to movie in after she done with her last year of school this year and help me watch over here. Because of it she want to get married to me something I thought about but, it want work out because I do have the money to get a ring but, its only emergency money but I can tell she really wants to but I can’t man up to it. I really don’t have a lot to give her in return she doesn’t care about how much money I have how much the ring is or getting married by church or anything else like that? But if I do that then all have all my family going in a frenzy saying that I’m still young you’re not ready or you’re an dumb ass maybe I don’t know what they’re going to say to me. What should I do? I keep myself busy with reading, going to the gym or doing martial arts to stop my bad intentions but, all problems come with me even if try to not think about and the same time its make my body sick too it’s getting harder to get up the mornings. I’m, trying to be like my dad strong but I can’t leave up to his expectations.

Um, go for counseling and seek a psychologist. Um, I read the whole thing and it seems like you are ranting about your life. I am sorry that you have to go through paying bills, can’t afford a ring/church, etc. Your mom who is now diabetic. I am so sorry. That’s lots to think about. I know that you are struggling. I feel bad for ya. I can’t help much because I’m 14. If you have this type of problem you may want to ask for help. Good Luck and wish you all the best to you and your family. Peace♥

Btw, do another job. Take the city transit. That’s efficient. Oh yeah, I’m glad that you’re always there for your parents and that you take your time and effort to help them out. Still spend quality time with your gf too. ^_^

Question by daddys girl: Are there any other treatments for cataracts even after patient has had laser surgery on both eyes?
person can hardly see from either eye and is diabetic

Answer by JT
Cataracts are an opacification of the lens inside the eye. The only way to cure them is to have the lens removed and a new lens put in. (The laser surgery corrects the front part of the eye – the cornea – and doesn’t affect the lens.)
