  • I want to say thank you to all the people that write in big letters. I can not have my cataract operation to the end of May. It is very difficult to read here. Last night I put in the wrong letter and couldn't get back here right away. This is my only company beside tv.

Just want to wish you the best with your cataract surgery, halfpint!  A friend's mother had it done recently and is so happy she did!

Good luck with that surgery.  See, you can adjust the font on any post you want to.

Good luck with your upcoming surgery. You will be seeing fine in no time. I don't know what kind of bird this is, but they have good eyesight, right? Or does that only pertain to birds of prey. I wish you all the best.

@halfpint1, there are settings to alter the view on your computer screen so that you can see any website in large font. Mobile devices also have settings to increase font size.

 

I don't know what kind of operating system or browser you're using, but this link might help you figure out how to do it on your device: https://www.health.ny.gov/help/text_size.htm

My cataracts were removed about a year and a half ago. Good decision. I hope yours goes well. The surgery and after care could not have been easier. You will need drops for a while after the surgery. If you have difficulty getting the drop into the eye, you may have to ask someone to help you. You will be given a very small container, and should not waste it on "bad aim".  I have a hard time getting drops into my - they tend to go everywhere.

 

You may need reading glasses after the surgery, but you will be happy to be rid of the cataracts. Like you, I wish everyone could find a way to put their posts in at least a size 2 font or larger. Wish QVC would eliminate the size 1 - it's too small for me even with reading glasses. Making it BOLD print helps me.

@halfpint1, I feel your dilemma, somewhat.  I have the beginnings of cataracts, so my opthamologist says.  Only my night driving is affected and she says that's the reason car headlights look like stars coming towards me, lol.

 

I'm sure your surgery will go well.  Good luck and God speed.
