Re: Cataract cure finally found, but just left to rot - "Brownie I don't know... "

I went to see an eye doctor yesterday...I asked what color was my cataract :
"- my cataract, is it white, yellow, brunescent ?"
- yellow, brunescent.., everything ..." (brunescent or brown - not sure of what I had asked).
So here we are...Earlier on I had asked if it was cortical, nuclear or other, and there too I had it all...So, end of the story of lanosterol cleaning the cortex maybe, while leaving the rest still opaque....
I wanted to have my sight measured, but that has not been so easy, for she had no very precise tools : I found out that from 9/200 last July or so, I reached about 16/200 this time (in far less favorable light conditions), when I had 40/200 before the time cataracts started...The improvement though limited seemed real however (still a lot to be done)...In France they measure eyesights with a precision of 1/10th usually - which is pretty lousy for people with very week eyesight - if under 1/10 you get 0 (!!) -, sometimes they go up to 1/20th but no more...
I had come to get some more contact lenses I had said, and when she started to check my eyes with her tools, she ended saying after a little while "oh a bit of a cataract I see"...
- "a bit" I asked, kind of surprised (or ironic) ? Then she found it was more serious (then bad...) Two years ago, the doctor I had seen told me she could see the cataracts without using anything special, just her eyes : so, I see it as an other good clue showing an improvement I think...
I got rid of about $46, but got a 1 year contact lenses prescription, when I wanted 3 months (maybe 6), which made me think there was not that much of an emergency, though she told I should get surgery quickly...An other sign of likely visible improvements I'd say. The surgeon I saw last summer told me it was so bad he feared the usual way - destroying the lens with ultrasounds (phako-emulsification) wouldn't work , and to have to use an other approach then after, with a major opening in the cornea - instead of a tiny hole - therefore implying more risks, more time to heal and so on...
I had expected lanosterol could take me back as to avoid this risk at least, if not more...

There were several questions I had planned to ask, but no opportunities, not enough time was given : for instance, I have a little spot on one eyelid, as close as possible to one eye, and I've seen about a dozen different eye doctors over the last 20 years or so, and none of them have ever bothered telling me what to do against it...Not very important of course, but it shows most of them seem to have forgotten they were doctors first, before studying to become specialized eye-doctors...Somehow they are more like optometrists or opticians too often, basically.
