I have never had cataracts, but I have had a scratched cornea. It happened while I was using the flea comb on Alexander-kitty. He hated it and decided the best way to get away from it was to jump over my head. I didn't close my eyes in time and one of his back claws got me in the left eye. The ER folks cleaned the eye and I also got the eye drops every two hours thing.

It was a good thing I loved my sweet Alexander.
