Desperate for Help
by happyadditude, Jun 23, 2008 06:41AM
I am 47 yrs old and had a cataract removed from my left eye march 07. At that time my optomitrist informed me that I had a cataract developing on my right eye. It is full blown and I have no sight in my right eye. I also am getting a secondary cataract on my left eye. I have no eye insurance, however my parents are willing to help me find some kind of low cost surgery that they will pay for. Please respond with any suggestions on finding low cost cataract surgery

I suggest you contact vocational rehabilitation department or division of blind services in your state. You can always go to the local social security office in your area or the local hospital or a local cataract surgeon's office to try to find the phone numbers to these offices. These goverment offices are able to help many people like yourself.
