Update in the treatment of cataracts
Tuesday, March 1 A number of opportunities will develop for you in the year ahead, stemming from places that are at quite a distance from where you reside. Yet, in order to reap what they offer, you’re not likely to have to go to them; they’ll come to you. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — For some unexplained reason, people in general will be much more generous to you right now. In reality, it will be they who just figured out how much good fortune you’ve thrown their way. Aries (March 21-April 19) — This could prove to be not only a fun day for you, but also a lucky one as well, when you associate with someone who is in the position of being able to do something for you that few others can. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — A new channel is likely to open up that will benefit you in a very specific way. It will have something to do with a new development that another has successfully launched. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Be on your toes, because much knowledge can be acquired through a personal, first- time experience. You’ll be able to use it to your advantage many times in the near future. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — It’s one of those days where you might put your normal routine aside and devote some time to a pleasurable event. It could be nothing more than going to lunch with friends. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Things could work out rather luckily involving a joint endeavor that you have with another. Given the chance, make plans or projections about developing what you can from this union. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — With a few dabs of ingenuity here and a touch of elbow grease there, you will be able to resurrect an old but important project of yours that previously went nowhere. It will fly now. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Through the use of your charm, consideration and thoughtfulness, you’ll have no problem being accepted by others. In fact, you will make a most pleasing companion. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — This might be a better than usual day to tackle that demanding project you’ve been putting off doing because of the complications involved. The ways and means of getting it done will be clear as a bell. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Keep all your lines of communication open, because some good news is trying to get through to you. Be sure to stay in touch with those who could be pertinent to your immediate plans. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Maybe it’s because you’ve been keeping your fingers crossed, but for some reason a festering domestic condition could take a turn for the better. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — There is justification for your optimism, because there is clearly something good in the works for you. It is likely to involve another person who means a lot to you.

Bridge hand: What happens with the minors? B Y P HILLIP A LDER
Dear Dr. Gott: I recently read somewhere that there is a new cataract treatment that uses an infrared laser to bleach the age-induced yellowing of the lens — as opposed to lens-replacement surgery. Would you please discuss this in your column? Dear reader: In March 2010, The New York DR. PETER Times science section GOTT discussed this very subject. Cataracts are commonly treated by removing the damaged lens and replacing it with a synthetic version; however, the procedure is invasive and costly. As an alternative, an ophthalmologist and his colleagues at the Glostrup Hospital at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark came up with what they believe is a promising alternative — bleaching the yellowed lens with a laser. The research team uses infrared light delivered by an extremely fastpulse laser — so fast, in fact, that two photons hit a target molecule simultaneously with the same effect as if UV light were used. The newly discovered treatment reduces light absorption and helps restore lens proteins to their proper structure. At the time of the writing, a great deal more research and development was necessary before the procedure could become routine. It is a similar technique to
Lasik. Then a Nov. 17, 2010, pilot study report from Stanford University covered in the journal Science Translation Medicine indicated an imageguided laser technique is 10 times better than that achieved with current manual methods and could truly change the way cataract surgery is performed. Experts say guided lasers will allow eye surgeons to perform surgery in far less time with greater precision. Statistics indicate that more than 1.5 million cataract surgeries are performed in our country each year. An astonishing one in three Americans, primarily senior citizens, will undergo cataract surgery at some point in their lives. The natural lens of the eye will be surgically removed and replaced with an implanted, permanent artificial lens. Today, the initial incision is performed manually and the breakup and removal of the clouded lens is performed with ultrasound. With the new technique, however, this will all be done with a special laser guided by 3-D imaging. While it has been made very clear the new technique and imaging will improve the precision and allow for better control, it hasn?t been fully determined whether the method will result in a better outcome for the patient against a known current procedure that already has a high success rate with few complications. With refractive repair, many patients will have 20/20 vision without the need for
glasses or contact lenses. Images of the eye are taken to determine the thickness of the cornea and distances from the back of the cornea to the front of the lens and back again. The information garnered can be used to program the image-guided laser so a surgeon can determine the precise cut to make. In response to your question, newer research remains ongoing and extremely promising. I cannot determine whether infrared laser (or other procedures) is for you. That decision is best left to your ophthalmologist. As with any procedure, make sure that you consult with a specialist you have complete confidence in and be guided by what he or she has to say.

We have been looking at help-suit game-tries when a major suit has been agreed. But some readers asked what happens when a minor suit has been raised? Then the number-one job is to try to get to three notrump. We never play in five of a minor unless we are confident that three notrump, four hearts and four spades are unmakable. So, we show stoppers in an effort to check that we have all suits covered before opting for three no-trump. First, though, in today’s deal South is in three notrump. West leads the spade four: two, jack, king. How should declarer continue?
South, even opposite a single raise, can anticipate game. He starts by showing his diamond stopper. Then North announces his heart stopper. This allows South
to jump to three no-trump, which guarantees a spade stopper. South has six top tricks: one spade, one heart, two diamonds and two clubs. If he can collect five club tricks, he is home. The first trick tells declarer that West has the spade ace. (If East had the ace, he would have played it: third hand high.) So East must be kept off the lead; otherwise, he will push a spade through South, and West will run his suit. At trick two, declarer leads a low club from his hand. And when West discards, South is playing for overtricks. Finally, yes, perhaps East should have doubled two hearts to ask for a lead of that suit — not that it would have helped here.
‘Men’ crew to be paid; Sheen calls it ‘a start’ LOS ANGELES (AP) — Warner Bros. Television agreed Monday to pay the crew of “Two and a Half Men” for four episodes, a move that Charlie Sheen called a start in his ongoing battle with producers of TV’s top-rated comedy. “Clearly my efforts are paying off,” Sheen said in a phone interview with The Associated Press. “I won’t sleep until I get all eight.” Sheen was referring to the eight episodes of the show that were put on hold when Warner Bros. stopped production last week. Warner Bros. spokesman Paul McGuire confirmed the crew payments but denied that Sheen’s war of words
against the studio and series producers prompted the move. Warner Bros. and CBS have canceled the remaining episodes of this season, citing Sheen’s erratic behavior last week. The actor followed up Monday with a series of television interviews in which he threatened legal action and extolled his hardpartying ways. Sheen said he’s not concerned with his own sizable paychecks at the moment, which are reportedly worth $1.8 million per episode. “I don’t care about me right now,” he said. Asked about reimbursements for fellow series actors Jon Cryer and Angus T.
Jones, Sheen said, “They’re next.” Sheen’s dueling interview with morning news shows managed to upstage the postshow buzz for the Oscars. In his televised sit-down interviews, the troubled actor dominated the entertainment media with threats of a lawsuit, two riveting morning show interviews and a rambling live stream on an Internet website. By midday Monday, his veteran publicist had quit. In Sheen’s interviews with ABC’s “Good Morning America” and NBC’s “Today” show, he boasted about his “epic” partying, said he’s fueled by “violent hatred” of his bosses, claimed to have
