beyond nutrients

All my life, I have been a gardener.
I have heard along the way that it's a good idea to protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses.Well, it certainly may be some very good advice. For many years, i was also a delivery driver. Many days i found myself heading west into the sun.
For the past several years my eyesight has been getting worse. I had no idea why. then this fall I injured my better eye with a branch while doing some brush cutting. i managed blurry eyed to drive myself to a local eye doctor. In the course of examoining the wound, the doctor informed my that i had an advanced cataract in one eye, and also one on the other eye. So, now i knew why my vision had been getting worse and worse.
A special thanks goes out to my brother David, who found Spector Eye Care, who will be doing God's work on monday. I have no health insurance. Eye surgury is very costly. These great people Dr. Scott Spector and Neeti Parikh will perform the surgery without charge. There are good and special people in the world.
So, to my point, beyond nutrients , antioxidants, fresh vegetables, please, give serious consideration to making sunglasses a part of your eyesight protection plan. A cloud on your eyes can put a cloud over your life. Protect your eyes. This will be a challenge for me as I am so used to gardening without sunglasses. Thankyou for reading this blog.
