I mentioned that sometimes when I'm reading there's a very slightly fuzzy patch over the text. She said she couldn't see anything wrong (other than that I'm long-sighted and very slightly short-sighted too). She does a 'Hmm' thing and says, as though it doesn't matter at all, 'I suppose it could be the glaucoma, or the cataracts.'<br /> <br /> I was unaware of either, so it was a bit of a surprise. Apparently the glaucoma is very slight and I probably won't ever have any problems, but the cataracts will have to be done in 10 years or so.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=43000.3&return_msg=43000.3" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="43000.3"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a43000_4"></a><div class="message" id="message_43000_4"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">26 Dec 2023 13:05</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: william (WILLIAMA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 26 Dec 2023 17:55"></span></span> <span class="message_count">4 of 13</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43000.4">43000.4</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43000.3#a43000_3" target="_self">43000.3</a></div> <div class="message_body"> mine are cataracts.
