Default RE: Flying with Cataract's

ORIGINAL: JCINTEXAS

I have a lot of ''Floaters'' swimming around in my eyes (the aquaeous humor I'm told). Sometimes a large floater will park right over my airplane as I'm flying. It looks as if I'm seeing my plane through cloudy water.
I don't have the cataracts, but I DO have a "floater" problem, and similar to you, I have a large one that is attached and doesn't settle. It moves around..blinking a lot helps some, but it's frustrating....especially when I'm trying to fly SPA pattern with the plane moving over 100mph. At times it looks like I'm looking through a plastic sheet, and I'm told any kind of surgery is too risky to do...so there you go. Maybe it will do better if it detatches.

Some people describe before/after cataract surgery as just short of "miraculous"..agree you should have it done ASAP.
