Mon, 07 May 2012 17:58:52 +0000 http://drkisling.com/?p=395#comment-10190 My girlfriends sight has been progressively getting worse for the past six months. She finally admitted to me that she was diagnosed with cataracts over a year ago but chose to do nothing about it. Her unemployment is on the verge of expiring and it has come to the point that she can no longer drive. Although I can take off from work at times I am having trouble doing the leg work to figure out who to have her contact and she can barely read a computer screen any longer. Any suggestions on who to contact in the Daytona FL area and how to go about it. I can give her transportation but feel she's needs to get the ball rolling on this issue. I'm at a loss on internet searches. Which seems to be all I have time for these days. My girlfriends sight has been progressively getting worse for the past six months.
