Restoring sight was the subject of an opinion piece in today's NYTimes "Seeing Really Is Believing: How cataract surgery changed my life." by Jennifer Finney Boylan."For those who get the surgery, the restoration of sight is miracle enough. But just as important, if not more, is restoring a sense of well-being. Studies show a strong correlation between cataracts and depression, especially in older adults. And so it was not just my vision that my childhood friend brought back to me. It was a sense of brightness and hope."
