My wife's uncle i.e. her father's younger brother was unable to see well for some time. So he is going to SNEC or Singapore National Eye Center to get treatment. We suspect it is cataract as both my father-in-law and mother-in-law had both their lenses changed.
Cataract is funny in a way. The elders lose their sight so gradually that they did not noticed. Most of the time they did not realised they are not seeing well at all. I remember my mother-in-law used to give us fruits that are rotten and I have to throw them away. When her eyesight is restored, the "rotten fruits" syndrome stopped as well.
At first, I thought she was playing tricks on us. Now, I learn she is totally oblivious of her poor eyesight.
