Why to eye doctors cringe when I tell them what I do for a living? (self.Blind)

I have been a software developer for over 25 years. Before that I was a RADAR tech in the USAF.

I'd suspect your history with RADAR over your software developer status, especially given how many professions involve looking at computer monitors all day. The good news is that cataracts are highly treatable these days. Just keep an eye on them...

> Thermal effects: RF fields have been studied in animals, including primates. The earliest signs of an adverse health consequence, found in animals as the level of RF fields increased, include reduced endurance, aversion of the field and decreased ability to perform mental tasks. These studies also suggest adverse effects may occur in humans subjected to whole body or localized exposure to RF fields sufficient to increase tissue temperatures by greater than 1°C. Possible effects include the induction of eye cataracts, and various physiological and thermoregulatory responses as body temperature increases. These effects are well established and form the scientific basis for restricting occupational and public exposure to RF fields.

I had cataract surgery about 4 years ago. Now I suffer from "secondary cataracts". I long to be able to see the stars.

That protein build up on your lenses can be quickly removed at your Ophthalmologist office. Takes 10 seconds and your back to stargazing.
