How are cataracts diagnosed?
During a comprehensive, dilated eye exam, your Eye M.D. uses several tests to check for cataracts:

Once I know I have cataracts, what should I do?

Do not use eye drops or other treatments that claim to dissolve or remove cataracts. There is no proven way to dissolve cataracts with eye drops. Surgery is the only way to remove cataracts.

Something a coffee snob can love

My dad is kind of a coffee snob so when I remembered that his birthday was soon, I wanted to get him something that would go along with his obsession. But so many people do that already that he has every kind of expensive coffee maker known to man, has tried every kind of gourmet imported fair trade coffee and has enough coffee mugs to build the great wall of China. So my options were limited.

Then I got the great idea to get him something that would complement his coffee. Or better yet I would make him something. I remembered his love for biscotti and started looking up some recipes to make it online with hughesnet. I found lots of varieties and finally narrowed it down to one that I thought he would like.

I have a lot of experience cooking and baking so it wasn’t a hard task for me to do. I wrapped it up in a nice little basket and he loved my biscotti! He said that no one had ever made it for him before, but now I just have to step it up for his next present again.
