Now you have me worried. I'll probably end up with cataracts. Both my parents have had them, both my grandmothers had them. I'm betting I'm genetically doomed to getting cataracts.

Hopefully I wont end up with cataracts.

Sheesh!! So sorry Joyce.

Why is taking Cataracs out worse for MSers? My Mom had cataracs removed, at 75, and her vision went, almost, back to 20/20.

Get a second opinion!!!

Hi Sally: I am going to a Neuro-Ophthalmologist. She explained that the
optic nerve has been damaged to a certain point because of an attack of
optic neuritis.

She said that anymore disturbing the nerve and retina in people with
ms the chances of more damage is greater.

I am sure you know what she is refering to. Without the cataracts we
have all the problems with our sight. With them that is what is causing me to
have more problems. Just hope that they stop growing for now. I know that in time something will have to be done.

Joyce
