Event Description

In 1999, at the age of (b)(6), i had lasik eye surgery. One year later, i was back in contacts and had developed cataracts in both eyes. In 2000, although the eye doctor could identify my cataracts in both eyes, it did not affect my vision. That changed in 2012 and now at the age of (b)(6), i need to have cataract surgery. I do not have a family history of cataracts. Both of my parents over the age of (b)(6) have not had any signs of cataracts. Lasik was performed by (b)(6).
