It’s an awful shame when your physical and mental health is dependent on the government to which you pay your taxes to and who are so keen to fiercely collect on time but your eyesight can wait.

I had a cataract in my right eye which developed after a trauma from when I was 15 years old living in a rough neighborhood (just being a nice kid…LOL). It grew as I did but 2 years ago it came to an impasse such as the one you’re experiencing. I had a problem seeing through it. Fortunately I did have insurance at the time and had the cataract removed and replaced by a mini crystal ball…OK...just a new lens and now I see better through it than my left eye. So if it comes as any consolation, the surgery did indeed help.

This is not to mention that as I aged, I also slowly developed a cataract in my left eye as well but it’s nowhere near as bad as the other one was but it’s coming close (yeh…yippee…ehhh!). My last appointment (last week) the doctor suggested that if it gets worst next year, I should consider having it removed. This time around tho, I’m retired and my prior insurance is now my secondary and our supposedly social medical health insurance (Medicare)…which I paid into my entire career (35 years’ worth) is now my primary. We shall see how this is dealt with next year.

Nevertheless the point is...hold on tight until this thing gets approved…as I would think it certainly will. Then I will for one be certainly waiting to see your works. Disillusioning at first I know but don’t forget…it’s the artist and not the tools they use.
