There is nothing wrong with my eyes that can't be fixed by a simple operation !!!!!!!! .... and breath.

I've got a pre op assessment tomorrow for a cataract op. 35 years on and still feeling the effects of steroid abuse (due to steroids weren't as controlled back then and was told to take crazy amounts by Drs over a long period of time). But can't wait to get them done as struggling a lot now.
Other side effects I live with is apart from adrenal issues, my skin is paper thin, akin to a 90 year old. Crazy really.

All the best tomorrow, bare in mind cataract operations aren't always straight forward, listen to what your surgeon says about the location of your lense in relation to your macula and ask what the chances are of losing some sight should the operation not be successful or straightforward, again, all the best, sure it'll be fine
