Delaying Cataract Surgery - Any associated dangers?
A post above raises a more important consideration, that of glaucoma. Another 'silent' disease that can go unrecognised but lead to serious consequences later. If you are diagnosed with glaucoma, it must be treated and brought under control before any cataract surgery. Five years ago, in Thailand, I went to see an othamologist due to deteriorrating vision. When he told me I had glaucoma I was surprised and then concerned when he explained the likley outcome if it had not been diagnosed in time. He also told me I had cataracts in both eyes and that was what was affecting my vision. Pressure was 35 in RE and 31 in LE. I went through the pressure reduction treatment until they stabilised after a year and then had the cataract removed from my RE which was the worst affected. Recovered comfortably in a few days. Then, continuing the glaucoma drops I returned to live in UK and, last year had cataract removal LE. Took much longer to recover but eventually vision stabilised and synchonised. I now have good unaided distant vision, improved close-up vision occassionally using specs for small print. I am in a Glaucoma Screening Programme at a local hospital with bi-annual appointments. Only use glaucoma drops in RE daily. If you suffer from dry-eye along with cataracts, there is an additional procedure that can be carried out during cataract surgery which can restore thhe eyes natural lubrication and drainage. Adds about 10 minutes to the cataract removal. Fixed my problem and avoids separate surgery. Worth mentioning this at your preop if you have dry-eye. I encourage all readers over 60, even if they are not currently having vision problem to get a pressure check regularly. It could save you grief later.

The video shows the pickup driver being fatally catapulted through the windscreem. Does not seem to have worn a seat belt so any airbag deployment would not, alone, have prevented ejection.

Although not stated in the article, I don't think the prescribed penalties for Exporting controlled herbs without a permit are too onerous. Perhaps an AN Forum member knows and could comment.

Thai Delegation Arrives in China for Uyghur Meeting amid Tensions
I guess the cover of night did not appeal to them. The visit was uneccessary because, as the Thai public were informed, China had given assurances that the returnees would be well treated and reunited with their families. 😏
