    Thank you
    I am going to meet with my surgeon on the 28th(I would say "See", but that's just too funny to be true)

    I will have him look at my eye and determine if I need the YAG laser. I am unsure, my only symptom of a secondary cataract is halos around headlights at night, which tells me to avoid driving at night.

    When I don't drive at night, I have no reason to get the YAG laser surgery done. I'll ask him if the potential cons of the YAG laser are accurate (slight inflammation in the eye., potential increased number of floaters in your eye/Laser treatment can also slightly increase the chance of having a detached retina.) and if so, they outweigh just being able to drive at night.

    If the simple solution is don't drive at night, I won't get the laser surgery. I can throw this new deficit on top the pile of deficits from my coma/brain injury that cause me to act like I'm 80yo instead of 35.
    Currently I can't find my other glasses to which allow me to read my phone, so I currently can't figure out who is calling me, at least I have excellent vision in one eye to see that there are no kids on my lawn:p

    On the too funny to the true bit, I do this all of the time at the end of an assessment clinic and say to patients, "keep an eye out for any new visual problems" DUH! no real better ways to put it!
