I had cataracts removed several years ago followed by a YAG laser treatment. I believe they contributed to my dry eye condition. My eyes are also more light sensitive. Sharon Moore, Patient Leader
I have had dry eyes for about 40 years and was told i have pinhead cataracts about 20 years ago. To my understanding my cataracts haven't increased in size. I also have macular degeneration and have had it for almost 20 years and my eye doctor checks my eyes every 6 months and my vision is stable and at almost 78 years old I can still read, drive, and even do my color pencil art. I eat a diet of no processed food, and I take supplements, I don't take prescription drugs. I have never been hospitalized or had an illness worse than the flu. I live in a forest reserve and hike to forest trails.
