My Eye Dr Tells Me I Need Cataract Surgery?

I only had my cataract removed when I ended up with a retinal detachment directly behind the cataract. So they had to remove the cataract in order to get to the other thing. The surgery was not bad at all and I am a huge chicken! I am 40 and get nitrous to have my teeth cleaned! Recovery was maybe a week or so, depending on how long it takes you to get over the anesthesia. It does not make sense that vitamins could improve cataracts. They're just one of those things that come about without explanation, rhyme or reason – it's not even a genetic thing.
