Hi. Yes, between this thread and the other thread, you have now received several replies. Someone in the other thread suggested that perhaps you shouldn't worry too much about finding your exact simillimum, that you can always take it when you find it. As far as your cataracts go, this seems accurrate; allow yourself to treat yourself with "acute care" when you need it (of course, you always want a very good match to your mentals and modalities!!!). This is important. Meanwhile, you can and should continue to study for your "most similiar match", your simillimum. If you do enough reading of homeopathy, you will find that even the great homeopaths believed you could achieve a cure by prescribing with the closest matches EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT THE SIMILLIMUM. It can be confusing, but it is possible. You have, for example, found a lot of assistance from Lyc, even though it seems to be NOT your simillimum.... Continue thinking and studying, but do consider treating your cataract situation as soon as you feel comfortable about making your own choice. It is very good to learn that you do have a "local" homeopath whom you can telephone and ask to validate any remedy choices you make.

About the LM potencies. LM is totally different from the c potencies and canNOT be thought of as "higher than" a 1 M. You may read more details on the website mentioned in the post above.... But, basically, LM is considered a very gentle way of taking a homeopathic remedy. An LM 1 should be as easily available as a 30c, but you may have to special order and it may cost a tiny bit more. Given your age and sensitivity, an LM potency dissolved into the "medicinal solution" of water can be very gentle.
