I had my annual checkup with my ophthalmologist yesterday and reminded him that I had asked that we do my cataract surgeries earlier than I really needed them done because of my tremors, which were not going to get better ( you have to hold your head perfectly still during the operation), and he agreed it was a good idea.

In fact, he said, people in general ought to get the surgery done as soon as they have any symptoms at all (like trouble driving with oncoming headlights), or as soon as their doctor tells them they have cataracts.
