   I've never heard of anyone having cataracts at such a young     
   age.  You are quite the anomaly.

   Back in those days, wearing glasses had a sigma.  Now, vanity     
   is quite the factor for looking good in the right frames!

   Try a blu-blocker pair. They can also be available in     
   prescription - but you might end up paying throug the nose.     
   However, there are some online options that can produce a blu-    
   blocker prescription version for much less money than from a     
   local brick'n'mortar office.
