I was at the eye doctor last week for my annual checkup. There is a small cataract in my right eye that he monitors. I had sensed some cloudiness in the eye last year shortly after I had seen him then I adjusted to it. He could see no difference from last year so that was good enough for me. He told me that if/when I become uncomfortable with my vision I can have the surgery done. They would replace my lens and I wouldn't need glasses after that. However they would have to do my other eye shortly after so that my eyes wouldn't be strained, with the difference in vision. My plan is to postpone any surgery for as long as possible.
The office was really busy that day. A lady sitting beside me mentioned that she used the wheel-trans service to get there. They provide transportation for people with disabilities. I noticed she was able to walk around, and seemed fine but she told me she had heart and back issues. Apparently you have to apply and interview for this free transportation service. It turned out that she had no family living in the country. At her last eye surgery she had to ask a friend to take time off work to check her out of the hospital. She was worried about being able to find someone to help her with her next surgery. It was easier to answer another lady who just wanted directions to the washroom.
