Cataracts Treatment

Question by Brigid: Should I try to be a doctor?
I’m currently a freshman in college, and I’m an undecided major. I don’t know what I want to do with my life..but the thing I keep coming back to is medicine. The thing is, I don’t know if I could make it through, or even into, medical school. I’m very smart, but my strong suits are not math and science. I took a lot of college classes in high school, and got almost a full semester of college credit from them. My first semester at college, I got a 3.88 GPA…but I didn’t take any math/science classes that semester. I can’t even imagine all the chemistry/calculus I’d have to take to get into med school, but I think that I want this badly enough that I could just spend all my time doing extra studying to get through it.

That said, I love medicine. I’m not in it for the money…I genuinely want to help people. I have gone on 2 medical missions to the Dominican Republic with a group that does free eye care and eye surgery for the poor, and I loved every minute of it. The doctors liked me a lot, and requested me specifically out of all the other volunteers my age and older to help them in the OR, where I was basically a scrub tech (which might not sound like much, but it really is a lot of responsibility to give an 18 year old). I thought the surgeries were so interesting, and I saw everything from cataract surgery to strabismus to eye removal (or ‘ophthalmic death’ as they called it!)

I just don’t know… I can see myself as a doctor, and I consider medicine my dream career… I just don’t know if I can make the cut. I just have a lot of doubts If anyone can help me out, I’d really appreciate it!

Question by muggs: Should you see clear out of your new eye glasses?
I got an eye exam was told my distance has improved and close up was a bit weaker. I have had these eye glasses/bi Focal for around four years now figured time to replace them since nose piece kept needing repaired.
So! I put the new glasses on and can’t see clear enough to drive home. The Tech. told me I have to wear the new glasses for at least 10 days so my brain will get use to the new lens. Well it has been two months now and I have gone back to my old glasses. The eye doctor said if I can’t see clearly out of the new glasses that must be a sign that I have Cataracts come in and get my eyes dilated.
What do you make of this?

My dog is almost 15 years old. He has cataracts and the vet is unsure about if he should get a surgery.I don’t want to put such an old dog under that much stress but it would be better if he could see perfectly.

Answer by Loki ❆ Wolfchild
Cataracts are pretty common in old dogs. They cause the dog to lose vision slowly over time, so most dogs adjust pretty well.

Personally, I wouldn’t risk anesthetizing a 15 y.o. dog just for cataract surgery.
