Cataracts Treatment

Question by Vanessa: Why does my dog have slimy red eyes?
My dog is a pit bull, and she’s rather old now. She’s about 10 years old. Two days ago i noticed that she had some slime on her eyes, they’re really red, and she can barely see. She’s not blind because she can fallow our movements. I wonder if its cataracts. In addition to that she hasn’t really been eating, we make her drink water but she drools a lot. Plus she doesn’t want to get out of her dog house. Please help we’re not really sure what to do. Thank you all so very much!

my father is 63yrs old and he don’t qualify for medicaid or medicare. Is there any financial help for my father to have his cataract surgery?

Too bad you live in the USA, the only developed country in the world without public health care or public health insurance. In any other county his surgery would be covered at no cost to him.

He will have to take out a loan, mortgage his house, borrow from relatives, get a second job or live with the blurred vision.

Question by Other: Why does my black grandma have icy blue eyes?
The thing that puzzles me is she’s african american. Her eyes are an icy blue and she’s really dark. She’s had these blue eyes since she was born but she said blue eyes don’t run in her family (her mom, dad and grand parents had dark brown eyes). It’s not cataracts. Is that normal? How does that work?

I’ve had a couple of floaters for years (tiny specks sort of sliding around in my field of vision). My eye doctor said they’re normal, and not to worry about them.

However, it’s definitely a good idea to have your eyes checked for glaucoma every couple of years, especially if it’s in your family, and the doctor can let you know if you have any other problems. Even if a stranger on Yahoo Answers says floaters are OK, only a doctor can tell you for sure.
