I've never heard of anyone having cataracts at such a young  
age.  You are quite the anomaly.

Back in those days, wearing glasses had a sigma.  Now, vanity  
is quite the factor for looking good in the right frames!

Try a blu-blocker pair. They can also be available in  
prescription - but you might end up paying throug the nose.  
However, there are some online options that can produce a blu- 
blocker prescription version for much less money than from a  
local brick'n'mortar office.
