Hi everybody,

Last Monday I got my first IOL implant in my left eye. I opted for the monofocal in order to have n side effect.

At the beginning no problem, or better I just have my pupil very constricted due the stress of the surgery. My visual acuity was pretty good, but starting from yesterday night that my pupil goes back on its normal condition now I'm experiencing some glare even with the day light.

I would like to ask if this can be considered normal at this stage or not; my worry is that the lens is now out of position.

Yesterday I have been at the Hospital for the routine check and the Dr. put the dilatation drops in my eye and everything was fine, no glare, but after that the pupil goes back on its normal position (no more constricted) I got the glare.

Does anyone had some similar experience? Next Monday I will have the right eye surgery, in that case this could be a good chance to fix the lens in case.....

Sorry for my english if it is not perfect.

thank you so much.

      It was in position at lunch time when the dr. check my eye and no any glare until that moment.

      everything is happened in the evening after that the dilating drops ends the effect.

    I had catarach operation on both eyes some 11 years ago and capsulotomy treatment on both eyes some two months later.

    I have had the problem of glare ever since. I cannot remember whether it occured after the original operation or the capsulotomy.the glare manifests itself in both daylight and sunlight. If a v isitor sits in a chair with my lounge window behind the visitor I am only able

    to see a silouhette of them, no facial details. Tinted spectacles do not help. like you I would to find an answer to the problem of

    glare.

      ohh gosh.....that's terrible...I'm due for my first eye in few days with mono focal toric. second eye will be done one week later. I have bad eyesight and alot of astigmatism. decided against pan optix because of the more common haloes starburst glare etc...esp paying so much which would be few tears of trying to pay that off.

      so decided the mono toric has the least...and toric for the astigmatism.

      did you have astigmatism before and after?

      Ayeaye,

      if you have a bad sight at the moment I believe you will be absolutely happy after the surgery.

    This morning I have been to the Dr.

    My sight is 20/20.

    He visited me and find a problem on the back of the capsule. He want to proceed with a YAG.

    I have canceled my surgery for tomorrow, in two weeks I will have another follow up visit and I will decide.

      Hi Mirko

      Sorry to hear that, sounds like you are experiencing very early pco, it can happen.

      Certainly you are doing the right thing, postponing your second surgery.

      I am sure it will all turn out well in the end, eye doctors are very used to dealing with complications like this. I know it is easy for me to say, but hang in there, things will become better! 😃

      Personally I would hold off on any yag treatment - especially if surgeon is suggesting it to get rid of glare and halos. Sometimes yag makes those worse. If your daytime vision is 20/20 I would not proceed with yag. Your eyes need several months to heal. I thought I had pco developing for months but turns out it is another condition altogether!

    Hi Everyone,

    It is passed almost 3 moths from my surgery and my last post, and as you remember, my experience was not the best.

    All my stress and panic are finally gone.

    I wait 2 moths before to proceed (and convince myself) to do the YAG, so two weeks ago I decide to do it.

    The YAG treatment was quite fast, 4 minutes, but I have needed 2 days to have back my sight and finally my serenity.

    All my side effects were gone and now I have a really good vision 20/20.

    I'm not 100% sure but maybe I see now a little better than saw before with the glasses.

    I can even say that, during the night, my no operated eye has more side effect because of the glasses (that it still need) than my left eye (the operated one).

    So everything is fine now.

    Thanks everybody for the support and the human warmth shown to me.
