Because when we take away your cataracts, we can take away all your visual problems.





I had no IDEA! But sure enough, hours after the procedure I could see 20/20. I only need a slight 1.50 correction in order to read.
Maybe it'll happen to you.
Already had cataract surgery in my 30's!! I'm blind in 1 eye and poor vision but them taking the near and far sightedness away helped the good eye which in most people would be a horrible eye.

I've tried to do a lot in life but could have done a lot more and had more courage to do things I regret not doing - just because I couldn't see.

That would be cool. We would all be a lot richer, at the very least.

Absolutely nothing. But we MUST be all inclusive of every thread, no matter the topic.

I personally do not like him. I do not think he is a good POTUS.

He proved that by becoming arguably the most powerful man in the world, and that simple fact is quite amazing. With all of his perceived flaws by his detractors, it didn't stop him from becoming President. That takes guts. That takes courage.

There are plenty of others in history that had that courage. Martin Luther King for one. He lost his life, but there is no denying his courage.


That's not courage he has, it's the biggest balls in the world.
