What a wonderful uncle you have! I'd like to add that cataract surgery was for me and almost everyone I know transformative. While there are many surgical treatments for age-related problems (such as replacing joints and disks), none is an instant fix like cataract surgery. In my case, the new lens I received was bi-focal and allowed me not only to throw away my reading glasses but also to stop wearing the contact lenses I'd had since I was a teenager. The surgery didn't restore the sight of my youth but fixed it entirely. Many people think of aging as a steady physical deterioration. Cataract surgery can undermine that assumption, doubling its benefits.

"Aging has given me insight..." For an eye surgeon that's an understatement! He sounds like a wonderful, generous person.
