The MS was never mentioned as the reason. Every single opthamologist stated it was because of my age, the cataracts were stable and if something happened then I could possibly lose my vision. He gave the example of a detached retina which I understand because my grandfather had that happen after his cataract was removed and the doctor would not do the other eye for fear of it happening again - that happened years ago.

The opthamologist I have now really doesn't want to remove them before he really has to. I have found through the years many opthamologist are not in a hurry to remove cataracts and the cataract needs to be "ready" - I believe at full growth.

Joyce, you always have the option of a second opinion.

After a few Drs had told me no I had one tell me no but if I kept looking I could probably find a Dr who would do it. It was that comment and the thought of the quality care I would get if any when I finally found a opthamologist who would remove the cataracts - I quit looking.
