<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I just read the posting from Sydney Pierce regarding the dx of a cataract. I have had the dx of the same type of cataract for three years. I was told by my Dr. that it is an unusual type and I'm young to have a cataract(33yrs). I was wondering if anyone else has had this same problem? I'm not convinced that it is not related to my CD as I have never had an injury to my head or eye. I also think sometimes the Dr.'s are reluctant to associate anything with CD(my opinion). Also, on my last check-up for my cataract my Dr. noticed an abnormality on my optic nerve on the opposite eye, I then had a MRI which revealed "no known cause" for this. I go next week for a six month check-up and I will again ask my Dr. about the CD connection. Seeing double in Portland Karen Davis [log in to unmask]
