I think you'll get better answers here. This person is pretty much straight up lying. For example "Discomfort and side effects vary from person to person. Most marrow donors experience some side effects after donation. Common side effects of marrow donation include: Back or hip pain, Fatigue, Muscle pain, Headache, Bruising at the incision site. Some donors said the experience was more painful than they expected; others said it was less painful. Some donors describe the pain as similar to achy hip bones or falling on their buttocks. Others say it feels more like a strained muscle in the back. The ache may last a few days to several weeks."

They are mild, but to say there is no pain and no risks is simply not true. And I hate that they are lying when there really isn't any need to.

What do you think has led to the increase? America had plenty of access to guns back in the 70s and 80s, but didn't see this type of behavior until more recently.

(Also had a cateract as an infant). You don't put a lens in someone who isn't fully grown yet, because the eye develops and grows as you do. If you put a lens in, it can't change along with your eye, and will cause problems, or at the very least not work like it should. I used a contact lens in that eye through my whole life until I had a lens implant in my 20s and have 20/50ish vision in that eye, which the doctors said was pretty good. As wanna_be_doc said in a comment below though, it can't be fixed beyond that, because the problem isn't my eye, it's my brain.

I wonder why they didn't have you use a contact lens until you were old enough to have the implant surgery, as they did with me.

I was responding to the commenter that said he didn't use any lens.
