Question by Siobhan H: During cataract surgery, if a person does not replace the lens with an IOL, can they see? Is there a reason?
why someone can not have an artificial lens implanted? Would there ever be nerve pain associated with an implant?
could they use glasses to see instead of the lens? Can they get cataracts again with or without the lens replacement?

The lens is necessary to bring vision into focus. If an IOL is not used to replace the clouded lens that is removed, then although light could enter the eye, the vision could not be focused and objects would not be seen. Probably only light and shadows could be seen in an eye without a lens. I’m not sure if there would be a reason a person could not get an IOL implant done, unless there was actual physical damage to the eye itself. I have not heard of pain inside the eye after surgery, but there would be pain/discomfort associated with the cornea (outer surface of the eye) from the incision. From google, there are many lenses to chose from and most seem to have good results. You could search around and see if you find more information – be sure to check out ‘eye anatomy’ while you are at it.

Question by PaRtY 2012 -One Down Two to Go: Why is Canada embracing the “Old” US model of “each person pay for their own health-care”?
British Columbia is replacing block grants to hospitals with fee-for-procedure payments and Quebec has a new flat health tax and a proposal for payments on each medical visit — an idea that critics say is an illegal user fee.

And a few provinces are also experimenting with private funding for procedures such as hip, knee and cataract surgery.

Canada, fretting over budget strains, wants to prune its system, while the United States, worrying about an army of uninsured, aims to create a state-backed safety net.

Healthcare in Canada is delivered through a publicly funded system, which covers all “medically necessary” hospital and physician care and curbs the role of private medicine. It ate up about 40 percent of provincial budgets, or some C$ 183 billion ($ 174 billion) last year.

Spending has been rising 6 percent a year under a deal that added C$ 41.3 billion of federal funding over 10 years.

But that deal ends in 2013, and the federal government is unlikely to be as generous in future, especially for one-off projects.

“As Ottawa looks to repair its budget balance … one could see these one-time allocations to specific health projects might be curtailed,” said Mary Webb, senior economist at Scotia Capital.

Brian Golden, a professor at University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Business, said provinces are weighing new sources of funding, including “means-testing” and moving toward evidence-based and pay-for-performance models.

Because it puts responsibility where it belongs. With the individual not the state.

The state model doesn’t work.
