By the way, doctor... I am 83 and my vision is going. I gave up driving years ago, but it is getting so I can't see faces across the room and reading is a strain. Because I have a condition called Fuchs' corneal dystrophy, as well as cataracts, my doctor says I need to consider having both a cataract operation and corneal transplant. But I am worried about the long recovery period. Couldn't I just get by with the cataract operation, which I understand has a recovery period of only a few days?
