Default RE: Cataracts and Color Shift

I hope my friends are still subscribed and get this...here we are, 11 months after my original post, and after my annual checkup end of June, we found that BOTH cataracts had appreciably advanced, to the extent that I handily failed EVERY screening test to satisfy eligibility and medical necessity for lens implants. It is difficult to describe how quickly these things went downhill, but it happened FAST (and completely unrelated to my diabetes)

Ihave one eye finished, second one coming this Tuesday, and I have to say, the right eye w/ 20/20 and perfect color registration is giving me hope that I'll be able to fly again. I hope I will, as it has been extremely difficult to fly at all with the loss of color and depth perception.

Jon - you certainly hit it spot on - but unfortunately, I had to wait until I met medical criterion.

I wonder if I will fly any better being able to see the plane for the first time in years???
