Hi! All.. I'm new to the Forum.. Been scrolling around whilst sitting in on a rainy bank holiday Monday. Glad I found this and I've seen lots of interesting information on here.
I was born with Congenital Cataracs and had laser implant surgery with IOL's fitted back in 1998.. My eye sight never improved a great deal. It improved.. But, not enough to learn to drive etc.. I was basically told that my brain got too used to seeing the way it always see and then discharged and that was that.. The local Optician gave me glasses which help a little. .. I was just wondering all these years later if this is the end of the road for me... Or... is there any new ways of improving eyesight following a past op... I've been waiting for these cars that drive themselves to arrive (ha ha)...

I don't know the answer to your question. Perhaps you should see an opthomologist. A lot has changed since 1998. But I must say that the explanation you were given about your brain getting too used to seeing one way and now can't see another way sounds like some malarky to me. Everything I've learned about cataract surgery is that your natural lens is replaced with a prosthetic lens, therfore if it were just your lens that were defective, then replacing it seems like it would solve your problem. But I'm no doctor.
