I have to squint when I drive in the dark. My doctor said I have the beginnings of cataracts but by the time they're bad enough to need something done about them I'll probably be dead from old age already. Slow-degenerating, could be up to 20 years or more before they're that bad. Remember I'm also only 60, so still "young" comparatively speaking.

My post is about cataracts because I was responding to a comment about cataracts. I was not talking about any other vision issues.
I understand that not everyone has Medicare or other health insurance. (You don't have to be on Medicare to have cataract surgery. I had both eyes done at 62 when I was on employer-provided insurance.) However, if you have ANY kind of vision problem that requires you to drive with your bright lights on at night then you should either get the problem fixed, if possible, or NOT drive, if you can't or won't.
