In July of 2013 Jay M Haynie OD again noted that my Retinopathy was stable and there were no changes to the one cataract in my right eye and that it wasn't impairing my vision and that it didn't require treatment. He did note that my vision was worse and said I need new glasses again and offered me a referral to an Optometrist. I declined the referral and planned to go back to the clinic I'd visitied prior to 2012, America's Best Eyeglasses & Contacts in Tukwila, WA who I trusted to do a better job than Vista Optical did in 2012.



I went to America's Best on 8/22/13 thinking I now needed bifocals in additional to lenses for distance as it was getting difficult to read anything, Weihan Wang OD, said they couldn't get my eyeglass prescritpion any better as I had cataracts in BOTH eyes and needed cataract surgery to have any vision improvement.



I scheduled an appointment for a 2nd opinion with a cataract specialist, Dr Gary W Chung, MD at Evergreen Eye Center in Federal Way, WA on 8/27/13 and he confirmed that I do have cataracts in both eyes and the only way to improve my declining vision was to have cataract surgery. The eye that has the worst cataract on it is my left eye. Jay M Haynie only ever identified one cataract in my right eye which isn't even the worse of the two cataracts. I now have cataract surgery scheduled for both eyes. It has gotten to the point where I can barely read. I am hoping that the delay in the cataract diagnosis hasn't cost me any portion of my vision permanently.
