Flickering after Cataract Surgeries
Posted , 7 users are following.
Similar to many posts on this website, I've had terrible flickering after cataract surgeries, starting in my left eye and moving to the right. Fluorescent lights are the worst and cause nausea, but any light source can trigger it. Similar to others, when I cover one eye, it goes away. It has been four months for me and if anything, the problem is getting worse. I can't go in stores and am always turning off lights. I work with computers and that is now problematic.
I went to multiple doctors who found nothing wrong, very frustrating. However, on a recent appointment the doctor diagnosed the issue in about 10 seconds as Pseuodophakodonesis, a dislocated lens. He did it with a penlight in a darkened setting with lights to the left and the doctor was certain the 'flickering' I was seeing was actually the lens moving. I have a few appointments coming up, one with a neuro-opthamologist to discuss what to do.
Some of the posts are years old, I am wondering how people are doing now?

hi mike, create a new thread with your diagnosis in the title. anyone doing a google search will have the option of reading/commenting on your thread. you might find those other sufferers you ate looking for. good luck
as far as an exchange, find a dr who does exchanges regularly

Will do. Any recommendations? I live near Seattle, but will travel as necessary for care.
