when my vision gets blurred at night or when I've been concentrating too long. Stitching is getting harder but that is life. I've asked the optician if the blurring is due to the cataract and was told that yes, it is part of it and it will get worse. At least I know for sure now.
The nice man who sold me the sunglasses was helpful in explaining what to expect, although I didn't really understand exactly what he meant - my fault not his. Wearing sunglasses does really help when it is bright outside, and not just in the car. Here is what I wrote on my main blog about this..
(On the way down I got a splitting headache from the sun because reactions glasses don't work in a car. Andy took me to Llanelli to Specsavers after I phoned to see if they sold clip on sunglasses. They said they did. When we got there they didn't have any in stock. How helpful was that. The young lady 'helpfully' suggested that they have a 2 for 1 sale with a free tint on the second pair. How I kept a civil tongue in my head I don't know. She then had the nerve to suggest I go to a fashion store and grab a pair from there. She is soooo lucky not to have receiced a good hard slap. I went to Boots and although they didn't have an opticians the assistant went outside to point me to a small local one. Well, that man was superb. He offered me two pair which were made for my style glasses. I got the expensive pair because I liked them better and they have been a godsend.
Oh, and on the way down when I was suffering, Chel let me put her sunglasses over my specs. One pair kept sliding down so I couldn't breathe but the other pair worked but were very heavy for my poor nose on top of my regular glasses.)
I now carry my spare glasses with the clip-ons attached everywhere I go. My reactions aren't as dark as these, so I'm really glad I got them.
