I need to speak/communicate with a opthalmologist who is familar with cataracts in the eye. I am not looking for a freebie and I am willing to pay for someone who is a fellow model aviator. I have one in my right eye that is progressing rapidly and is causing a 4.0 split in rx right vs left. He tells me that I might adapt, but when the split increases, I likely will not adapt.
Help

The thing with cataracts is the gradual cloudy progression until it reaches the point that it really affects your vision. Had both eyes done a couple of years ago, and just recently had Yag surgery. About 50% of patients who have cataract surgery end up having to have Yag surgery within one to three years after cataract surgery.
Seek out the best opthalmologist you can find and get the best lens you can afford if the insurance won't cover. Dr. Lance Ferguson did mine and has done thousands. If you ask anyone in the immediate area who has had cataract surgery who did theirs, they answer Dr. Ferguson.
While Dr. Ferguson is not an r/c pilot, he does fly full scale and loves to talk about flying.
