Ellaco,

Your situation is genuinely tragic. What is the point of being treated when the result is that everything one values disappears? Like you, I can’t really work and am often stuck at home.

Will you be able to have the cataracts removed? Please let us know how you are doing.

I to have the start of cataracts in both eyes, I went to the optician with blurred vision, is due to the steroids high dose for 3 months I took when my ITP was discovered 2 years ago.
