Shadow after operation which was 8 months ago now
Posted , 5 users are following.
The cataract op went well and my sight is very good again. However I have a shadow that seems to be on the left of my left eye. No surgeon can see it and I am told it should disappear but normally that happens within 3 months, I am told. It seems to be there even if I cover my right eye up! I gather this is because I am seeing the lens, or its edge, but is not common. Has anyone had anything like it and did it disappear? Does this happen gradually or all of a sudden? Thanks for any comments as it does get very irritating, especially when driving or walking outside.

I wonder if you could have developed an other kind of macular edema? Have they checked for macular edema through a scan to the eye?

Well its not in the centre of the eye and they have examined it. It is well to the side of the eye but I will ask about that. Glad to hear it cleared up!

I have what I believe is positive dysphotopsia, which I've had since my cataract surgery over 10 mos ago. Sadly there doesen't seem to be a strong theory or anything approaching a reliable cure. Nonetheless mine has been so disturbing, along with other visual abberations (glare haloes, rays etc) that next week I'm going in to have a piggyback lens put in in hopes is will improve my situation. Wish I could feel it was more than a hail mary.
Good luck.

Good luck with the piggyback lens and hope it helps you, when you have it done.
