8. I have it in my left eye.

I had cataract surgery on both eyes in March and then my eye surgeon informed me I had it in my left eye. He told me to take Centrium Silver to help slow it down because there is nothing else that can be done. My vision is much better now after the surgery, but I have to wear reading glasses. I had to have cataract surgery because I had to renew my driver's license and after 65 here in Georgia you have to take an eye test. At that time I couldn't pass the eye test. But after the cataracts were removed and new lenses implanted, I passed with flying colors.
