Narrow angle-glaucoma
Posted , 4 users are following.
Yesterday, my opthalmologist said he detect narrow angle but don't have glaucoma. I'm planning to have a cataract surgery in Feb to get rid off my glasses and he said, that surgery eill tske care of narrow angke-glaucoma. My question is, should I wait until Feb to have the caract surgery or in Oct which I have 12 days off from work? I do have concern about this because if the acite attack happens suddenly, I will lose my eye sight. Even though my doctor said I don't need to worry because I don't have it but am very nervous and donwant to wait... for any input, I would appreciate- thank you!

Hello Lisa
If you can have cataract surgery sooner don't hesitate. After surgery you can have
laser treatment to prevent glaucoma. I've had both procedures and my eyesight has
really improved. Now I can drive without glasses. It's hard not to be fearful of eye
surgery but stay strong. You'll be fine. Alpine

Hi Lisa, always listen to your consultant , they have a lot more knowledge and experience in what is happening with your eye , each of us should be treat as an individual case and nothing is routine, says someone who had routine surgery 10 yrs ago , also you may have to use your glasses after surgery but I so hope you don't. Good luck
