		<description><![CDATA[Monet&#8217;s vision reached a lot deeper than his eyes could see. Professor Michael Marmor, an Ophthalmologist who led a team of researchers at Stanford University, has been quoted in Times Online as saying that the beloved artist Monet &#8220;derided the developing abstraction in art.&#8221; Yet as he aged, Monet&#8217;s paintings became increasingly abstract.

My major goal for surgery was to at least partly restore my ability to read for an extended amount of time. My surgeon felt we sould be able to accomplish [...]]]></description>

Cataracts cloud the vision, causing a blurred effect. August is National Cataract Awareness Month.
