I was high myopic - minus 13 both the eyes and had undergone LASIK when I was aged 39+ Then after a year had retinal detachment in my left eye. During the surgery they also found cataract. 2 surgeries were done and now I am able to read with my left eye but witht he help of +5 reading glasses. If I have to read news paper print I also need -2.5 near vision glasses. If I wear these 2 glasses one above the other I can read smallest print also clearly.
Just make sure there are no other active holes in the retina, that your cataract is truly affecting your vision, and that you schedule a repeat retina exam about a month after the cataract surgery with a retina specialist to make sure there are no new holes after the cataract surgery. As far as which lens to choose, it depends on your personality, eye health, preferences, etc and should be discussed with the cataract surgeon.
the cystoid edema and macular membrane were there prior to surgery and could not be seen because of the cataract but could be seen after the cataract was removed. 2. The operation caused CME which lead to the ERM.
Know that CME is a common problem of both uncomplicated and complicated cataract surgery. It's listed on most surgical consents. It often resolves with medication and time but in some cases like yours it doesn't and needs stripped.
I had a successful retinal detachment surgery ( vitrectomy with gas bubble) a year ago in April 2015. Just had cataract surgery in that same eye. After the surgery my doctor said I had a posterior cataract and he did not want aggressively " polish" so instead would like to do a Yag treatment right away since my post op vision( one day after cataract surgery) is 20/50 but the lense is cloudy and we can fix it right away.
I had surgery just over a month ago for macular hole and cataract. Some laser treatment was required and oil was used not gas. I stopped using the eye drops (Maxitrol and Mydrilate) five days ago but the pupil is still permanently dilated. My understanding was that the pupil should return to normal a few hours after stopping the drops. Will the eye return to normal?
Accelerated cataract development often occurs after a vitrectomy, which happened in my case, but it was a year and half later before it had reached the point that I had to have cataract surgery. My retinal specialist deferred treatment of the cataract to a separate specialist, which I chose based on recommendations from my optometrist.
I just had cataract surgery on my right eye today, and had a Tecnis 1-piece lens implanted. My surgeon said that part of the cataract was stuck to the back of the lens sac. She said that she scraped some of it off but didn't want to risk tearing the sac. She said that she could remove more of the cataract with a laser treatment at a later time.
When I previously read through this forum I don't recall seeing anything about this kind of cataract problem.
to proceed. Then after surgery I have the retina Eye MD check them 7-10 days after the laser and report immediately any dramatic increase of floaters, flashes of light or loss or peripheral vision.
My clinical experience does not indicate that the risk of RD is much higher with yag capsulology than original cataract/IOL surgery.
Hope this helped you.
I doubt that this is a piece from the laser treatment as it is so big it covers the most of my vision. After all that I have been through with this eye, I am concerned that this thing might be permanent. Has anyone else had this experience after having the YAG laser procedure and if so, what was your treatment and outcome? Thanks for your time.
A week later underwent catarct surgery for the other eye successfully. About 10 days later (after cataract surgery), she underwent cataract for this eye. Within 48hrs, there was no vision in the eye. Emergency Levofloxacin eye drops with prednisolone eye drops were started. 6 hrs after which Vancomycin 500mg injection was administered. The diagnosis was Endophthalmitis. On USG, it was shown that there is no retinal detachment. According to the Dr., the infection was responding to treatment.
After cataract surgery in the right eye my girlfriend experienced vision that was, as she put it, "out of focus". 3 months after the surgery, the doctor performed a laser procedure in that eye. The result is that her vision has not improved, but, now she has the added frustration of light shooting out in all directions like a star. The doctor proposed a second lens added to the eye.
I had a bleed in my left eye 2 mos after the first cataract surgery in Dec 2011, and I have myopic macular degeneration and subsequent hemorrhages. My eyes were stable for many years until the cataract surgery.
So I am now scared to get the YAG procedure because of the risk of retinal detachment and what my optometrist has said. What would you do in my case? I know I will need it eventually, but is there a benefit to waiting longer for the YAG, or should I go ahead with the October date?
On day 1 after my April 7 right eye cataract surgery and continuing unchanged to date, I have had blurred vision. The blur does not meet the "usual" definition. For lack of a better word, the blurriness is crescent shaped going from the bottom through the center to the top of my field of vision. The vision is not blank, but blurred, so that I can no longer make out images/letters.
Retina detachment, macular degeneation, optic issues all seem to have been ruled out.
I have the same problem that koolGuy - severe myopy -14 D and -15 D and 2 laser treatments to pheripherical retinal degeneration done in two last months.
The problem is that my left eye is "strange" after this last laser treatment. I think I have more floaters also.I dont know how to remedy it. Somebody could answer me?

My eye doctor says i need yag laser treatment to correct cloudiness in my right eye. he said it is an easy procedure. I guess my question is that I am worried that this cloudiness could come back months or years after treatment. I was surprised to have this problem after cateract surgery which I had about 3 years ago.
I had the last laser surgery done on my left eye on May 19, 2009. Since then I have noticed that when I am in bright light or it is shining in my eyes, I see what looks like a piece of fuzz when I blink my left eye. It is only in this eye. At first I thought I actually had a piece of fuzz on my eyelash but realized this was not the case. It has continued since then and is irritating if I don't have sunglasses with me. Please advise me of what I should do or what this could be.
I developed cataracts in my early 50's. Had surgery on my right eye in 2004 and my left in 2007. In 2008 I developed really bad floaters in my right eye. They came up very quickly. I went to several eye doctors including the surgeon who did the cataract work. I was told repeatedly that this was just something I had to live with. I did my own research and then went back to my eye doctor this winter (2010). I had already concluded that the laser option was dicey.
