Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in geriatric patients over the age of eighty. Cataracts develop slowly over time and cause gradual loss of sight. Cataracts can affect one, or both eyes, and are not a contagious disease. Cataracts are treatable through surgery. Historically cataract surgery has been an expensive option that many patients have been unable to afford. Until now. There is a new organization called Cataract Free America that has dedicated itself to making cataract surgery completely affordable, even free in some cases to qualified cataract patients. The association is made up of United States doctors who will reduce their fees for eligible seniors, accept existing insurance as payment in full (meaning charging no co-pay) and will provide surgery for free for those seniors who have no insurance.

It seems to me that there has been a very long, drawn out controversy about whether to allow any casinos in Maine. This is such a loaded question, on the one hand people are afraid that it will attract more crime; on the other hand people want the extra income. There are a lot of “NIMBY”s “out there” and to be perfectly honest, I’m not sure that I’d be very happy if a casino were to open up in the town that I live in! I would like to see any casino that is opened to be totally state run and all profits go to the government to pay for improvements to the schools, the infrastructure, and to improve social services.
I wear eyeglasses. A lot of my friends also wear eyeglasses. My doctor says that I’m not a good candidate for contact lenses or any kind of fancy eye surgery because I have what he calls a “lazy eye.” He said that I could “work” on “fixing it” with some kind of exercises, but I’m really not interested in doing that. He said that the “lazy eye” thing means that even if I did wear contacts, or have surgery, that I’d still need to wear eyeglasses with “prism” in them to correct the “lazy eye” situation.
So that leaves me with having to deal with buying new eyeglass frames from time to time. I have, in the past, bought the eyeglass frames right from the doctor’s office. The problem is that was really expensive! The new frames cost me almost $200 alone!
I’m due for another eye exam, and this time I’m going to try the Zenni Optical website. They have been featured on Fox News as being a great value, and they have been discussed on the popular consumer radio show The Clark Howard Show. They sell eyeglass frames from as low as $8, and they have a very wide variety of styles.
