Do You Realise
I would like all you Flickr members to just pause amp think for a while You are looking at an image through the eyes of a person who is suffering cataract blindness I was unfortunate I was born with bilateral cataracts which has dogged my vision for over 40 years Thankfully after countless operations amp a lens implant my eyesight has regained to a level where i can enjoy life New ophthalmic technologies have proven successful over the last 20 years Over 98 of cataract surgeries are successfully completed without surgical complications and more than 95 of patients have improved vision Those patients whose vision fails to improve often have underlying ocular disorders such as age related macular degeneration ARMD diabetic retinopathy and other conditions In some cases these patients may benefit from other procedures or from low vision aids I use my camera to share with others the beauty which is sometimes taken for granted amp passes us by unnoticed From when we first open our eyes in the morning until we close them at night we must spare a thought for those suffering with ocular disorders Especially those in third world countries where funds amp technology has not reached that far amp so the suffering goes on It is a living torment that i have fortunately escaped amp this is my personal thank you for those who helped me regain my sight Do you realise how lucky you are <a href= http www flickr com photos fotoshots 2123250167 >www flickr com photos fotoshots 2123250167 < a>
