Joan I had 2 cataract surgeries this year and realize now I didn't even think about my tremor which is controlled by DBS brain surgery neurotransmitters. It's awful how soon I started taking something for granted. When I had the DBSs I had tremor (the bed shook) but the iron halo kept my head still. I don't take PD meds. Good luck.
