<\/a>Cataracts<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
As many of you know I have cataracts in each of my eyes, which is unusual for people who are not yet 40. It’s been a challenge, especially because I think of myself primarily as a visually oriented person. Driving, reading, designing, and computing have all become rather difficult to perform. Except for driving, those are my favorite activities. I hope to get lens replacement surgery soon, and I will never, ever overlook visual special needs in my development work again.<\/p>\n
