Is is possible to start a new discussion for over 60?

My doc is recommending stents in both eyes when my cataracts are done in the Spring.
She feels it is a good long-term option.

I have not heard about stents so cannot comment on that. I also had cataracts but the laser was done before. In fact my cataracts were not removed until 2005.
Anyway, good luck with your procedures.

I’d say NEVER fear getting second & third opinions when it comes to your eyes. I have a blister in the cornea of my eye right now. I’m not calling my doctor or going to one. I put on a hot compress & wait, pause! Why am I talking =acronym, let nature take over. Sometimes that’s all we need to do. Doctors are just people like us. 🙏‼️

I will be 82 on Christmas Day. I have all my senses intact (though some may dispute that🤪). Each year brings new physical challenges and yet I am so thankful for having led a life full of pleasure and, yes, even some pain and strain. No life is without it. In these years I have come to realize how important relationships are. If you are alone, though, you don’t have to be lonely. Reach out to others. Do something good for someone else. Say a heartfelt prayer for someone in need if you believe in the value of prayer. Clean the clutter, nature your plants. Call a friend who may be lonely. Treat yourself. Make an old holiday family recipe that you love, if you’re able. At the end of the day, relax, reflect on all the positive things you have experienced in your life, grab a good book, or watch your favorite holiday movie, and simply be thankful for what you do have.
