Help re Cataract Recovery
Posted , 5 users are following.
I had my first Cataract op in June, prior to my op I spoke to friends and family members who had either had the op or knew of someone who had had the op and practically nobody had had any bother after the op so why me. After my first eye op I had 4 days of extreme agony then it settled and was absolutely fine but I did at the time of extreme pain vow not to have my other eye done. Since my eye was OK after a few weeks, I decided to have my other eye done, wish I hadnt, it was a different doctor, not that that should have made a difference. Can I mention, I have read lots of reports on your page from patients who talked about eye shields etc, I was never given or suggested buying one which I would have done gladly and prior to op, I think this may have helped, anyway my second cataract op which I had 2 months after the first op has left me really DOWN there was, the same as the first op, pain, but with this one it was a different pain, it was at the inner side and outer side of my eye and was at its worse when my eye was closed, I dreaded going to bed when I would have to close my eyes to go to sleep. can you imagine. I also have slight distorted vision on the outer side of my eye and like a very fine web over the eye. Its now 7 weeks after the op and the pain is almost gone, hopefully not to return but who knows, but my eye feels heavy all the time, can live with the distortion, its very slight and can live with the very fine web and probably have to live with the eye feeling heavy. After all my moan and groans I do have to say that the vision in both eyes is good. I wonder if this is any help to anyone who has had the op cause I would like to have known of anyone who had similar symptoms as me.

however my eyesight was too poor to allow for replacement lenses .
i experienced loss of co ordination especially with ball sports which i could n`t explain but which was a little depressing . i wondered if it was simply ageing, psychosematic or just lack of ability or a combinatin of all of them.
having researched further it seems that loss of lens results in loss of eye `accommodation` viz the flexibility to follow moving objects as they come closer . i don`t know if anything can be done about it but at least i know and can perhaps compensate ., it`s just a little frustrating that the surgeon ./optician didn`t advise of this side effect before ( or since)
nonetheless generally i am very happy with the results at least at the moment

Then you can google that lens and see if others had any problems.
