No, I haven't asked for a referral. I don't want surgery at this time. Basically it's risks versus benefits for me and I don't think the small benefit is worth the risk. My lifestyle doesn't warrant it.

@followheart87 You don't have to agree to surgery to get an evaluation for cataracts. I went to a local opthalmologist for an evaluation - did she think I could benefit from cataract surgery? I was suggesting the referral as an opportunity for you to get a second opinion and more information. It was more than a year later when I went to a different opthalmologist for a second opinion and at that time decided I wanted the surgery.
