Generally has 44-åringens life really been quite nice. He has been in good health, but one thing that has plagued him ever since he was a teenager - vision. That he in the day, you can see virtually without problems is no guarantee if we will believe cohost even.

Very bad

I have used the lenses and glasses since I was a youth, and have not really thought anything special of it in everyday life. When I turned 40 and was on holiday in Spain, la I, however, noticed that something was wrong, he tells us to Look and Listen.

He decided to head down to their regular optometrist, but only got the information that he maybe had needs slightly stronger glasses and lenses. When he came back a third time, without that the problems had resolved themselves, it was decided that he had to seek out an ophthalmologist. There, he had a message he hadn't expected to hear that 40-year-old.

He told me that I had cataracts. I was completely put out, and thought that one might be blind. This is a disease one gets when one is in 70-years, not when you've just flipped 40, he tells open.

According to the association for the blind occur the disease because øyelinsa becomes rigid, opaque and yellowish. As a consequence, do not let light enough through, and you can get issues with to see. The disease often occurs in individuals over 70-years, so it is perhaps not so strange that Mubashir was even surprised when he got the diagnosis in your lap.

- Took the neck and held me up for the wall

It all based on an event that took place when he was a teenager.

I got a tennis ball in the eye as a teenager. It was really painful, and I found eventually that I had to visit the doctor for it. I saw the beacon of the cars that were not there, and when I was 15 I found out that I had a wound on netthinna that had to be operated with a time. I could have lost sight if it was not done, " he says, and continues:

It was then that I mentioned for øyelegen that I had a wound on netthinna that he found out that I had cataracts. Because of it my eye was exposed to as a teenager I was in the risk zone. The doctor said that I was lucky that you came when I did, " he explains.

the Operation was, fortunately, easy to perform, and are by NRK-the profile described as a "samlebåndsstruktur". It was quickly in and quickly out again, while at the same time in the waiting room put significantly older people than he himself who was waiting to get carried out the same procedure. When the Newspaper talks with him he is on his way to his seventh control after the operation - at Specsavers on the Power storsenter.

- Suddenly you are standing there in front of a spotlight, and it can be exhausting. Høyreøyet my release into a part of light, so I have asked production to curb the strength some times. Cinema is also a problem. One time I saw a movie with sunglasses on, but it was not large, grinning, he.

Surgery is considered a success, but everything can change. About 10-15 years can diagnosis abruptly notify its arrival again, and he is therefore careful to check the sight as often as possible. When we talk with him he is on his way to his seventh control after surgery.

Men of my age are generally bad to go to the doctor, but one should not kimse of poor vision. It is something that we shall have the whole of life, " he says.
