    Dear Dr Mac & others who were kind enough to reply. 

    Allow me to have just a small freak out here!.!.!.!.!.! Gasp, thanks.
    Let me now say that I thought cataract surgery consisted of removing
    scar tissue from the surface of the lens, making it all shiny and
    new again. I had no idea they would remove my lenses and give me
    artificial ones!! What are the replacements made of? Do they every
    go bad, degrade, cloud up, fall out??? 

    When I heard that they'd been doing cataract surgery since the time
    of the Pharaohs, I was pretty sure that the Egyptians had no polymer
    lenses laying around to refit. I really don't want the ancient
    surgery methods, but I figured there wasn't much more to it than to
    use a lazier for a nice buff and polish, like zam, only with
    photons. 

    On the other hand, things are getting blurry and my eyes are
    continually strained. I don't see that I really have much of a
    choice. 

    Yours,
    as ever
    Marya
