If one has cataracts that are bad enough to require brights to drive at night DEAR LORD get them removed. It is a simple, painless procedure. Some people believe that cataracts have to be super thick before insurance or Medicare will pay for the surgery. This is NOT true. If they are interfering with daily living then insurance will pay.
I love Florida but there are some laws down here that I just don't understand, like you can be in your 80's and not need to renew your license (and get your eyes checked) for six years. It is obvious that a great many Villagers have no business behind the wheel of a car. If the renewal period was one or two years after a certain age, many of these folks would have their licenses revoked (and we would all be safer for it).
