Cataracts are common, especially after 50—but did you know certain factors can increase your risk?
Age, genetics, UV exposure, diabetes, obesity & eye injuries all play a role.
👉 Stay aware. Get regular eye check-ups. tr.ee/jc-sZDdAOD

"And the red suns and ashen moons went westward over Xylac, falling into that seldom-voyaged sea, which, if the mariners’ tales were true, poured... in a worldwide #cataract upon nether space from the far, sheer edge of Earth."
Clark Ashton Smith, 'The Dark Eidolon'
In Helsinki 🇫🇮🇪🇺 for the #ESCRS2026 Winter Meeting European Conference of #Cataract & #Refractive Surgery. Special track on #presbyopia this year!
Apologies to the #5amwritersclub for the recent #cataract of expletives.
Happiness is printing out some sections of your book for an alpha reader.
Then the polar opposite is dropping them on the floor and realizing that the pages aren't numbered

(March 3,2026) — late, I know
On the porch
viewing the beautiful Spring day through #cataract eyes
they wait,
they rock,
proud of their families
sons, daughters, grands, and greats
who are all too busy now
living lives
too filled with busy to sit
and rock
and talk
on the porch
Cataracts cloud the eye’s lens, while glaucoma damages the optic nerve and can silently affect vision. Understanding the difference and having regular eye checks can help protect your sight. 👁️ #EyeHealth #Cataract #Glaucoma

I minced words
That night
#empty of meaning
Foggy
Grey
Like a lens fouled
By a #cataract
And in the morning
After a sleepless night
Of worry
I found you
Happy
Chatting amiable
About our day
And realized
You'd been fast asleep
The entire time
"a wretch"
proteinous, the
plutocrat's pupil,
vision lying through
its teeth. clear as a cloud.
cataracts catching up,
age finally finding him
but he's still vying for
another morsel of
eternity, etching him
self in our
bones, making a billion
burial mounds as he
goes.

There were no gang members outside the building this time, just an elderly woman muttering something about a #cataract as she limped away. Jeff pulled the front door open and entered the lobby for the second time in three days. The same woman was standing behind the desk. #vss365

A left-re-lifted driftwood
angles over the tall
floodgates
of the noisy cataracts—
in the only direction
it could—
like an unhinged
teeter-totter
until one end
and the other
get stuck
across
the shallow water
like a bridge without jitters
for the shallow-water critters.
She plucked the daisy and placed it gently in the stream. Slowly, it turned and floated, getting caught up in the current. When it reached the small #cataract, it bobbed and sank for a time, then emerged on the other side, worse for wear, but whole. Like me, she thought.

A great #cataract of tears bathed Mr Calico's face. His shoulders shook and his belly jiggled. He coughed and wheezed. The live audience echoed his reaction.
Oh, man, that was a good one!
His dog wagged its tail and looked for a scratch on the head. The TV tinted its white coat blue.

We sat overlooking the #cataract, the roar of the water deafening as it poured into the valley, afraid and anguished as our villages were swept away, the wilderness our home now, our tears falling for the unbelievers who ignored Nature's cry.

Until last light of evening
The force that drives me
Is a choice between either
The #cataract or the stick

He closed his left eye and the world was in HD. Every petal on every flower shone in the spring sunshine.
He closed his right eye and opened his left. His wife was in soft focus. His #cataract time machine showing him the movie star he'd met at the church fete sixty years ago.

The #threads of spacetime converge in the #cataract of causality. Energy flows over it in a fierce deluge. Those in a #steel barrel near its rim can be #forgiven for panicking: They have no way of knowing if they will surface in the future or sink into the past.

Carol and I loved visiting the falls. Yes, it was beautiful to watch the #cataract, water cascading and filling the air with mist.
But more because Carol said its force made her wet between her thighs. Made her crave the force of our bodies crashing together beside the lake.

#vss365 Having seeded the Solar System with singularity mines, the only way for hostiles to approach Earth is by way of the #Cataract Channel. The channel was sectioned off with a series of heavily armed portcullis gates that prevented a full-out, widespread assault.
The #cataract had blinded him long ago, but Old Bob saw better than most. Years of anger hadn’t given him a long life, but as he neared its end, he spent his few remaining years being kind in the hopes the young would learn from him. He knew it was mostly a waste of time, but he tried #vss365 #write
The blurs,
My god I’m cursed
I’ve got me cataracts
A army of little floaters
Rolling in me eyes
Well, at least the last years
Of my miserable life will
Now take me by surprise

My dog had a cataract— no, two. Clouds moving into both eyes like weather he didn’t order. They said they could clear the sky, brighten the lens, let him see my face sharp again— but it would come back. Three months. Then dark. And that feels cruel— to sell someone sunrise on a timer. So we chose the blur. He learned the house by heart. Followed my voice like light. Trusted the shape of my hands. Sight isn’t the only way to know you’re loved.

Sidenote: he lived happily for the last two years of his life blind; We trained him in this very large field behind a Catholic school/church near our house. Here’s some pictures of him running.
