Hi Anna and everyone else,
could just repeat Annas word about being an inactive writer, but a
little bit more active reader.

When I went to Lund they told me the same stuff all eye doctors told
me so far: "you have a little bit of cataract". The difference was
that they told me where it was in the eye, and they gave me a
straight foreward advice about waiting with the operation of it. The
reason for telling me to wait with the operation was that I did't
have much cataract, it did't affect my vision that much, I still can
read a normal newspaper without any magnifying glass.

When you operate for cataract there are two negative things with it:
- The new lins they put in your eye can't adjust from near vision to
distant vision, the accomodation (? changing from near to distant)
has to be done by changing glasses. This means you need one pair for
reading newspaper and another to watch a fotball game.
- There is a risk of "after cataract" (I'm unsure what it is called
in English). That is after some years you might get new problem with
cataract and there for need a new operation.

With this I don't want to give you any advices that you should wait
with the operation, it might be the best thing you did in your life.

When I have talked to different persons in the Swedish RP-association
about their operation there are as many opinions as there are persons
or even eyes that have been operated on. For some people it has been
the best they have done, for some there were no change because they
had so much RP behind the cataract. For some one eye was perfect
after operation, but the other eye were no change at all. However I
haven't met anyone whose vision have turned to the worse by the
operation.

A long message, but maybe more of confusion than of advice?
