Anyone out there that was diagnosed with cataracts of PSC [View all]

type? Post Subcapsular Cataract?

I was diagnosed early November and lost the ability to drive within a week. Surgery early January. Having some difficulty losing independence (I am 64).

Looking for lessons in this though. And grateful it’s a fixable problem. And I have great health insurance. Not everyone has that.

I guess? Just wanting a bit of a hug. Hahah. Off all social media. But for us? DU can be that. Family has been super supportive.

Feeling whiny. So many many more serious problems out there.
