I had the multi focal lens implants about 4 years ago. Best money I ever spent! I HATED wearing glasses and this is like having your 30 year old eyes back again. Have not had to put on glasses since the surgery and my eye exams result in 20/20 vision. Highly recommended!

I had the Pan Optix lens implants about three years ago. Best decision ever made! I am completely satisfied with the results and have never needed any form of glasses/correction since. They work best in good light but I can see at all distances very well. Eight hours after surgery I could read...

The wife and I are leaving for Hawaii in two weeks on a tour(our 25th Anniversary)of four islands including Maui. We were just contacted by our tour company yesterday that the local government & tour industry is ENCOURAGING tourists to please come to Hawaii and help support the local economy. I...

Now let me address that subject of buttering your corn. Always used to try to smear it on with a knife until I went to have dinner with a Polish family who had the perfect technique. They put a large amount of butter on a slice of bread which was then used as the applicator. Wrap the bread slice...

Implants When it came time for the cataract surgery I opted for the multi focal implants and it was the best thing I ever did.They provide correction for close up , intermediate and distance vision. I now have 20/20 vision in both eyes and have never had to wear a pair of glasses since the...

I had the Panoptix implant surgery a little over one year ago. I am completely satisfied and delighted with the results. It's like having my 30 year old eyes back again and I have not had to wear any kind of glasses since. I have clear vision at all distances and am so glad to be free of glasses...

There are various schools of thought on this question. I stepped up my mortgage payments with the goal of having a paid off residence before I retired. I also continued to contribute to my IRA & 457 plan. I can tell you there is no better feeling than the peace of mind that comes with of having...

Thank you

CHILL OUT DUDE! Take a deep breath and relax. I merely shared my experience...not meant to minimize anyone else or their situation. Hopefully, most people will recover without serious medical consequences.

Covid 19 TO SOMEGUY: To answer your question...I am 67 years old and my wife is 59. I trail run, bicycle ride or hike nearly every day. Since the time I was infected I have maintained my usual activity level with NO side effects. My wife had a period of several days where she was short of...

Another thought...you might want to get a second opinion on this. I went to two doctors before taking the leap. Although more expensive, the doctor I chose was far more professional and his office was far more organized in handling my case. Glad I investigated options before making a final decision.

Everyone's case is unique depending on medical history. Best of luck and I hope all goes well for you!

This is hot off the presses...I just came out from under the quarantine yesterday. Wife was ahead of me and wrapped up her 10 day period last week. I contacted my family doctor and inquired about antibodies now that I have been exposed. He told me that is unknown by the medical experts at this...

The lens I had implanted is called Pan Optix and they are brand new to this country in the last year. Approved for use by the government last September. Of course, with any surgery there is always some chance of a complication. My experience has been outstanding and it will take another month or...

In my case the blood type is A+. Not sure of the wife and mother in law....

Both actually. I was developing cataracts which I would have to deal with at some point. I am 67 years old so it was just a matter of time. The main issue for me was the glasses which I have worn since my early 40's. It was to the point I was completely blind without the specs and wanted to be...

Thought I would relate the experience of my wife and I after we tested Positive for the virus. We know exactly how we contracted it. Her father was in a nursing home where he was at end of life. We visited him daily and were informed by staff AFTER he passed on that he had tested Positive for...

I just had the multifocal implants last month. I had reached a point where I could no longer stand wearing glasses and as an active person wanted to be glasses free. The new Pan Optix multifocal lens was just approved for use in this country about a year ago. They have been used in Europe for...

Sage advice!!

Public Sector Career I spent 35 years in the public sector, specifically municipal Law Enforcement in the State of Ohio. When I started my career we had outstanding benefits. Although we knew we would never be highly paid there was the security of having a job for life and excellent benefits...

Gym and Covid - 19 Well.....here in Ohio that decision has already been made for us. The Governor has issued a closure order for all gyms, restaurants, bars, barber shops and just about everything else. The wife and I will be going for long walks, hikes and bicycle rides in the parks to get...

PSA Tests This is a topic of interest to all of us "seasoned citizens". I am a 67 year old male blessed with good health who tries to make informed decisions and take care of myself. I have an annual physical and my doctor is a down to earth guy exactly my age as well as personal friend. When I...

Pay it Off If you were to poll those who have payed off their mortgage I don't think you will find too many who have any regrets. You can't put a price on peace of mind and there is something very soothing about knowing the house is yours free and clear and you are living debt free. It will...

I was once in a similar situation to you. I was involved with a woman who had little in the way of assets and three children. I,on the other hand, was 45 years old with a career, home, pension, IRA's and investments. I was concerned that if the marriage didn't last I would lose much of what I...

Everyone's financial situation is different. I am a conservative investor and am always somewhat surprised by the aggressive nature of some peoples allocation. My allocation follows the sage advice of Jack Bogle who recommended a good rule of thumb to be "your age in bonds" as to the percentage...
