    Cataract Eyes
    I have cataract in 1 eye and starting on the other. I can't afford to get my eyes checked or surgery. I am diabetic and have no income, no insurance and the state will not help me. I can't get it because I am 52 years old. Do you know of any one that offers free service for eye care in the metro ATL area so that I can get this corrected? I need help ASAP due to blindness on 1eye. :( Please Help me!!

    If you have no income and no money, you should be able to get welfare and get your states medicaid for medical needs. Have you also discussed this with anyone at Grady Hospital. Not sure what services they offer but they treat all of the low income and no income and homeless in Atlanta.

    You should be eligible for Medicaid, and Medicaid should pay for cataract surgery.
