I may have mentioned this in a prior thread, but I was diagnosed as needing cataract surgery in "a few years" by my optometrist.

I was then examined by a highly respected ophthalmologist . He said not only did I NOT have any sign of cataracts whatsoever, I didn't even need glasses except for reading or using a computer monitor.

As it turned out, I was having migraine headaches due to being mis-prescribed lenses for everyday glasses. Mis-prescribed may not be the right wording, as I plain didn't need glasses at all.

With his recommendation, I left his office without wearing my glasses.

Now, at least a year and a half or so later, I still no longer wear glasses.

I'm sure my experience is the exception, but I would certainly get a second opinion about needing cataract surgery.
