Lately, I have noticed that I see 3 moons when the moon is bright against a dark sky. One moon is normally bright while the other 2 are less bright but clustered around the bright one. I now have cataracts and am wondering if it is the cataracts that are causing me to see 3 images. Also, when I look into the view finders of both cameras, the image is all blurry even tho the camera tells me the image is in focus.

sounds like cataracts to me, I guess you also have problems driving at night ?

I had the operation...........the world is now a much brighter more colourful place, best hospital trip ever

God bless our UK National Health Service.........go for it.........good luck

I had the same problem last night until I removed the UV filter on my lense. I think there was codensation on the filter that caused the refection.

Those tilt screens come in handy.

I tried to get a foto but kept on getting reflections....
Opening the window helped, but trees and buildings got in the way..
Finally got a clear shot, but headlights ruined it.....

Gave up..stopped the car and got out...went in to watch it on TV........

If you drive, have an accident with another car or a pedestrian and the other side finds out about your cataracts, your liability could become a big issue, even if you don’t end up in court. Please consider the surgery as insurance for you and others. Investigating accidents is my business and I look for cataracts as part of my check list.

Looks like we can't even discuss the lunar eclipse without some Brit bringing up the UK National Health Service.

BTW, who pays for all that "free healthcare"? I'm sure somebody has to.

It is not free it comes out of every paycheck taken out before you get it so no it is NOT free

I realize it's not free. That is why I put "Free Healthcare" in parenthesis. From what I hear, citizens in countries with socialized medicine have the tax burden to pay for it.

And believe me that 'tax burden' is TOTALLY worth the expense when it comes to needing healthcare without the burden of worrying about breaking the bank!

I think we Brits have a lot more to be proud of in our National Health Service than the USA

has to be laughed at for the smirking tweeting Donald Trump. Since when did caring for your neighbors

welfare become wrong ?
