I can relate to problem of being visually impaired. I injured my right eye at the ripe old age of six years old but had no problems with it until I developed a cataract on it at only 40 years old.Cataract surgery in the early 70's was not like it is today. My eye doctor was not familar with the lens implants since they were very new at the time. He insisted on a "hard" contact and this was very painful and ineffective so i just went without it.Still had one good eye but then , yes you guessed it; I developed a cataract on the left eye. Needless to say, I did some research and found another doctor that did believe in implants. Had that surgery over 20 years ago and have 20-20 vision it it. Not so good on the right eye; on the way to work one day I took a sneezing spell and detached and tore the retina in many pieces.Doctor said it had been weakened by the original cataract surgery. A "butcher job" is what I believe he called it. So to make a long story short, I have very litle vision in that eye.No one will have to beg me for my keys though. I had rather do hard labor for 8 hours rather than drive that long.
