"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

I am starting to have sight problems due to cataracts too, especially night time driving with the glare of headlights. Eye doc told me to get some yellow tinted sunglasses to wear for night driving, that it would help. She was right, they do. Would that be of any help for you?

Hows the bosun doing today? had been pretty hectic for last couple of days coudnt login and check!
howz ye all

Boson bought Anna and I dinner tonight. I had his favourite, yep Dutchy given I know you eat it, and then Anna said "this is what Danny has", so as you bought me dinner, that's what I had Garlic Prawns. Ok, twas good !!

He had a busy day.. I am sure he will be here tomorrow even for a short time.

He told the Medical trainees 6 of them, what they should be doing in the future instead of them interviewing him..I think he interviewed them ... Kinda proud of that.

Still hick-ups, still sorting, still working on things, still tired, I think he's eating though

Thank you for Dinner .. I forgot, love you too.. Well you did say that, to Izzie and me.. A little bit back there, on page.. IDK Love to you Boson.

I had mine operated on Butterfly. Piece of cake.

But I had no problem with headlights. My eye simply went dimmer very gradually. Like me.

Hello crew, enjoyed reading your interesting comments. Butterfly, the Eye specialist has decided on an operation now just a matter of time,

Hi verbivore hope all is well in your part of the world, the Bosun send you special greetings.

Glad you enjoyed your dinner Foundy so wished I had been present. Copyng my favourite meal eh, how appropriate.

Dimmer in sight Spendius but certainly not in brain power you're as sharp as ever.

Waves from downunder. The Bosun.

Mine haven't progressed far enough yet, still at the borderline state. She thinks I can postpone surgery for another year or two by using the tinted glasses. So far it is just the glare of headlights that gives me trouble, but not since I started using the yellow sunglasses.

I don't drive much at night anyway, so it works for now.

I hope I would be as sharp as you Dutch if ever I have to go through what you have. You're an inspiration.

Hear hear.

I'll cook some in the near future and the three of us will eat them together

checking in to see how the crew is doing



everything looks good



please

I have managed to grab some time and dropping in! Oh Dutchy! so glad to see you are on here! You had us all mighty worried! Am so happy to see you posting! Go our soaring eagle! Hugs sentX

I might add Butterfly that I left mine long enough for it to require the old-style operation which was twice as long as the modern one for treating a young cataract. They develop.

That's not advice btw. Our stuff is free.

It's very common. It even looks to be natural when a certain age is reached. They keep us alive for longer so that they have more things to treat.

According to Dr Barnard cataracts can be prevented, or slowed down morelike, by making sure that you have vitamins C and E in your diet and beta-caratone. He says that those who eat less of those things than they should are 6 times more likely to develop cataracts than those who eat plenty. Food Is A Wonder Medicine is the book.

He says risk is increased by iron and copper and smoking. Also exposure to UV light. And dairy products.

In the history of the human race I suppose only the lucky ones got cataracts.

It might be seen as the easiest warning sign of a bad diet. That folklore about carrots might not be as daft as it seems.

It's easy for us when it's all free.

And I dare say you look good in the tinted glasses.

The Bosun approves ehBeth, well done!

Hi Annis, thanks for dropping by, trying to keep up with the threads albeit exhausting. (((Annis)))

Good to see you too Lmur.

I had cataracts early, perhaps due to a lifelong condition, retinitis pigmentosa, where I've read they happen faster. Nothing to do with carrots in my case. I had a tough time with the first one, slippering surgeon who lost the lens, followed by three more surgeries on that eye, making my upping for the surgery on the right eye an emotional challenge. Dutchy understands me. My right eye surgery, the good one!, when I gave in and had it, waiting quite long, was both fast and excellent, and all around the op table the crew sang to me as they were closing the op, upping music volume.
I doubt they do that all the time.

At least here, the surgeon and crew knew my history and were very tuned in.
May that be so for you, Danny.

Ossobucco my eye sight became blurry in Hospital last July. They conveyed me to an eye Professor who examined me thoroughly and found a cataract in my right eye. He decided to operate on me last August, however to my inability to walk it has been adjourned until I can. Can't read the paper and barely can read the threads.

But you are so "awesome" you not only try but you succeed, our inspiration Dutchy ..

My Grandmother was so happy. In her opinions she wore "goggle glasses" hated them (((HAZEL))) GodMother. Eventually she too had them done and only need normal glasses I will never forget her bright beautiful face when that happened. Nor the time she wound down the window to look at the huge waves of the beach only for them to swarm the car, her face and as I sat next to her, me, but we laughed .............

Ah, memories................Now I type here with glasses, I blame it on all of you, so much typing / computer / your fault

Does larger print help you to do so, Dutchy?

I hope so. It helps me a lot if I have my hand over goodeye.

Large and bold.



good thinking, butrflynet.

On a PC, there's a little gear looking thing in the upper right. One of the first options is "Zoom". Maybe it's IE that produces the little tool icon. I'm not sure which does what.

On my laptop there is also a zoom adjustment in the lower right hand corner, right over the date and time on the bottom toolbar. I have mine always set to 120% because that makes it much easier for me to read print. It can go all the way up to 400%, and it has a zoom in and zoom out feature.

I assume that's part of Windows.
