Are you having issues seeing vehicles coming at you in the opposite lane or really unable to clearly see the traffic signs? It may be time for you to get to the optometrist or opthalmologist depending upon your vision condition.

I'm have having cataract surgery next month. I thought I had better have it done before Federal Health Care declared it to be elective treatment.

I’m getting the excess skin on my eyelids removed, as I flunked their field vision test, on the 30th, for the same reasons. My cataract is only at 20% there for not considered big enough to be removed yet. I’m blurred at all distances without my glasses. :(

We have Medicare/Tricare For Life. Both are taking big hits with the TFL getting hit in 2011...per 2009 DOD bill.
