Running - Cataracts - just an assortment

I'm out of town but not out of the loop .. if you're looking for a race with some meaning .. consider this:

The 15th annual Komen VT-NH Race for the Cure is set for Sunday, July 29 in Manchester, VT. Funds raised support community breast cancer education, treatment and screening programs plus (25 percent net ) supports Susan G. Komen for the Cure national research. Visit www.vtnhcure.org for details and to register.

And then, if you're just looking for an interesting story ... how about this
from the July issue of Mayo Clinic Women’s HealthSource: By age 80, more than half of all Americans either have a cataract or have had cataract surgery.


And the latest research shows Cataract surgery is one of the safest and most effective surgical procedures performed in the United States. In years past, it was often recommended that patients wait for a cataract to turn white before having it removed. Today, there are no set recommendations on the best time to remove a cataract. The standard is to have one cataract removed at a time, allowing the eye to heal prior to the second surgery.


Regular eye exams remain the best way to detect cataracts early and monitor their progression.
