Bro, as your friendly neighborhood eye doctor, please go get your cataracts fixed. It's honestly one of the best quality of life improvements you can make. Most surgeries are less than 15 minutes.

I watched my grandpa's driving deteriorate to where I didn't feel safe being driven around by him, for myself or for others.

thank you for making that choice. 70 feels early, to me, comparing to when I noticed it in my grandfather and what I am seeing in my father now, so I respect your decision even more

hopefully you live somewhere that you can still get around decently, as my grandfather did. he could still walk or bike all around town, and did

My grandpa is 85 this year. He's only had one eye for the last 55 years, and his good eye is...bad. He has no peripheral vision.

He legally gets his lisence renewed at the local AAA insurance office, because they don't make you take an eye exam like they do at the DMV. And they just do it, they just look right at this blind man and hand his wife a renewal form to sign for him. Then she gets in the passenger seat and let's him drive home.

Anyway, thanks for your sacrifice. It's the right thing to do ♡
