      1. I have made my mind up years ago that when or if the time comes to have my cataracts removed I would be happy to do it. My eye doctors that I have had over the years has all said what the risk are, and not to do the surgery until it became necessary. It seems that my cataracts are still pin head size after 20+ years. Just like my macula degeneration is still not causing me much trouble after About 18 years. Everytime I have my eye exam, which is every 6 months I hold my breath as I fear the worst. But it still seems that my worst vision issues is my extremely dry eyes.
