Take her for an eye appointment to see if the cataract is ready to be removed. She can have one done and once she recovers, she can decide if the improvement is worth getting the second eye done. My mother has wet MD and gets shots to help but is gradually losing her sight. She used to love to read but it is a chore now. We are getting books on tape for her. I just saw a report of a new breakthrough for dry MD. I think it is just in the testing stage and is a lens fitted to the eye that focuses the image to the side instead of the center where the black spot is.
