I'm glad this subject came because I am going to check in with him this wk, and ask about those eye drops.

I've yet to get a second opinion (which I will do) from another opthamologist here in Toronto.
I am happy that you brought this up. Someone did mention to em to give Coco 1000mg of Vitamin A to assist with his cataract which was very bizarre for me, which is why I initially posted the question. I guess he will be diagnoses with juvenile cataracts as he is a lil over a year, but anted to help him for the long haul. With surgical procedures being as expensive as they are now, I would hate to have to operate Coco!
