Glasses don't help cataracts, only removal of your lenses will do. I don't know what you mean by assist. Specsavers referred me for an operation when the time was right.
If glasses don't help then why is it that I can purchase from the chemist glasses that help me read documents, the computer and newspapers?
BY ASSIST I mean that specsavers do NOT help by selling something like what I purchased at the chemist... It was a 4.5 wait and I love reading the news and that is about all I can look forward to nowadays,.Over the past 6 months I have had trignynoms removed and are now on my last proceedure to remove the cataracts from my right eye. ..
So how can you say that glasses won't help with being able to see while having cataracts... It has been the only way I could read documents newspapers etc and I DID use glasses to get me over the hump...
In the past 4.5 years I have worn glasses to read newspapers, documents and computer posting like this one ...TODAY I DON'T NEED GLASSES AND HAVING ONE EYE FIXED THE FAILING EYESIGHT IS BEING REPAIRED AND I CAN AGAIN READ WITHOUT GLASSES ... SOME PEOPLE!!!

Noted, but optometrists don't sell cheap glasses, and I don't think they would recommend those from the chemist. We also don't know the full story.

Also, I didn't say glasses don't help to see. We all know that a cataract affected lens must eventually be replaced.
