I'm sorry! I will try to remember to use a large font. I also have cataracts. I haven't ever had IV steroids. By the time my (then) primary doc gave me a referral to a neuro three darned weeks had passed since the TM attack, so it was too late.

I have a condition called Fuchs Dystrophy which causes the same effects as cataracts, one lives in a very foggy world. Because of this, I have had 3 corneal transplants, the last one after tm and I had it with just a local anaesthetic, so there is no need for you to be afraid of the cataract surgery and you will be so pleased you have had it. hugs Gilly ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 8:12 PM Subject: [TMIC] Can't see Hello All My Friends, My eyes are being affected by my TM.

That might be why it seems like so many of us with TM have cataracts.
