It's saying on some websites that the juice from carrots may be of help with Eye Cataracts.
Argos catalogue has two reasonable priced ones of page 699. One is £19.99 and the other is £29.99.
Would anyone have experience of using these particular juicers and would recommend one for using with carrots. Since someone said that carrots are among the more difficult things to juice satifactorarily.
The carrots myth was deliberate disinformation released during WW2. It was intended to hide from the Krauts the fact that that all their messages to Uboats were being decoded with the Bombe and Colossus machines at Bletchley Park. The lie was that a diet of carrots enabled the Coastal Command air crews to see in the dark.
Seventy years on, the myth still lives! Heh Heh! To the gullible anyway.
You can find lots of other jokes on websites too! What are you supposed to do with it, bath in it?
Stop reading rubbish, go to your GP and get him/her to refer you to a consultant.
If you are worried about the op - particularly if you are thinking of someone who had it many years ago - stop worrying and start looking forward to it!
Local anaesthetic, takes less than half an hour. The cartaract is broken up with ultrasound and removed. A new plastic lens is slipped in to replace the old one and you end up with perfect distance vision - even if you needed glasses before.
I had the first one done about 3 years ago, just as the second one was starting to develop - and I couldn't wait to have that one done too!
After wearing glassses from the age of 14, I no longer need them at all for distance vision at the age of 66. However, I still need them for reading but because I'd been wearing bifocals for twenty years, I never had my reading glasses to hand when I needed them!
So I'm now wearin varifocals because having the the intermediate strength is ideal for the PC.
Unless you just happen to like carrot juice, why not look and see if you can find a *single* controlled trial of carrot juice for the treatment and prevention of cataracts.

The version I grew up with was the myth was promulgated to cover up the fact that our air crews had magnetron powered radar sets.
and the pulp that comes out is quite dry - it makes really nice juice out of anything vaguely moist... (apple and carrot is qute nice) However you do have to chop the fruit, veg, etc. into small pieces before it will go through and there's always the cleaning afterwards...
And while not quite industrial quality, it did take most of a tree of bramleys last year, giving us nearly 20 litres of apple juice - and only overheated twice... (and took 2 of us the best part of a day)
As for the eyes... dunno - I'd see a doctor if they were mine!

I expect the information on the site is every bit as reputable as that address.
You can't see anything. There a two anaesthetics involved. One is injected into your cheek and paralyses the eye muscles so your eye can't move during the operation and, in my experience, for many hours thereafter. The other anaesthetic is in the form of eye drops which means you can't feel anything. A microscope is used by the surgeon very close to the eye and you can't see anything. They usually give you intravenous Valium so that if you were nervous before (and I was) you feel quite brave during the operation.
The results are fantastic. I was short-sighted since childhood; now I only wear glasses for night driving and long spells of reading. I spent the first month after the operation saying WOW all the time.
There were quite a few different radar types during the war, often changing as the technology improved. H2S was a ground mapping bombing aid, while Night Fighters carried a short range air to air radar and were talked to within their radar range by controllers using ground based radar.
In the first place, the opaque cataract has ruined a lot of the sight in that eye anyway.
Then you are given drops to massively dilate the pupil.
Before the 'pointy tools' come into play, a clamping device is placed on the eye to stop it moving - for very obvious reasons!
The incision is made in the side of the eye so, even if you weren't looking at the out of focus overhead lights, you wouldn't/couldn't see the 'pointy tool' anyway!
In fact, after have two operations in two different hospitals, I can honestly say I didn't see a thing* - and I didn't feel anything, either.
I think I was vaguely aware when one of the replacement lenses was slid into place but, of course, you can't see it, as such, and with the dilation, the clamp and the anaesthetic you can't focus anyway!
