I develop a cataract in my left eye after a motorcycle accident back in the 70s. had surgery and had to ware soft contact lens's. a couple years later I had Laser surgery for a tare in in the same eye. I had quit waring the contacts because I was a welder and they would stick to the eye and make it hard to remove. I had no vision in the left eye without the contacts, some time later I had eyes checked to get new contacts only to find the retina detached and at that time their was nothing they could do. Moving a head some thirty years I have a cataract on my remaining eye. The VA has been looking after it for that several years, no one wants to fix it because I have only one eye, not the VA. I cant drive at night, and have a hard time seeing any thing that,s not in a lighted area.
