Hi .... keep your chin up ... removal of a cateract is so simple now and done as a day procedure, just keep on at them to move you up the list. I know it can be hard when you keep getting more things diagnosed, my sister reckons I am on a quest to have a full alphabetical listing of diagnosis ...... who knows she might be right!!! This disease can only take as much away from you as you allow it to. God Bless and lots of prayers winging their way to you.

Hallo1

Yes , I had the same problems in both my eyes and had lens implants done - the blurred foggy vision is something of the past and I am glad I had it done- would have not been able to see if I didn't have it sone!

The cataracts form because of the treatment with cortisone and quinine- a side effect which develops after years.

Good luck and let me know if all is ok with you!Don't despair -we all are in the same boat and together we can support each other when needed!

Hi, I have never taken steroids just the Hydrochoroquine, and i have just ben diagnosed with a cataract in one eye, so fully expecting the other one to go too, my opthalmologist said was very young (46) to get a cataract so I blame the meds too, chin up, when they do the op and put another lense in, your vision should be so much better, I can't drive in the dark at the moment because of it.
