the ophthalmologist. I learn a lot.
1. Statins have a positive impact on eyesight. Statins and blood pressure meds seem to have a positive impact on reducing macular degeneration.
2. Buy cheap sunglasses. He doesn’t necessarily recomment wearing them. Using them while playing golf or riding a bike will reduce eye irritation.
3. He said amber lenses will help with golf. It will allow for easier tracking of your ball. Also suggested a yellow ball would help as well.
4. As has my internist, He recommended taking both an antihistamine and low dose aspirin every day. He believes a daily antihistimine would improve both vision and hearing. They reduce vision cloudiness. I guess he figured I had a hearing problem when I asked him to repeat something. He mumbles a lot.
5. I have cataracts. Most people over 40 do. Who knew? He said I’ll need surgery in 10 to 20 years. It will be an extremely simple procedure by then.
All in all I feel good about the visit. I don’t hate the statins and blood pressure meds any more. I don’t need glasses, though he said to use reading cheaters. Cheaters should be stronger not weaker as weaker ones will hurt your long range vision.
