Vision worsening and improper focus distance after cataract surgery
Posted , 5 users are following.
Dear all,
I am 48 and until 2 years ago my sight was perfect, then started developing quick-progressing cataracts. After a long wait I had my left eye cataract removed 1 month ago.
Here are two issues that keep me worried and would appreciate feedback:
After surgery my vision was perfect, or even better than perfect, for a week or 10 days, then quite good, now it's just decent or even a little bad.
The doctor said I should see on focus from 1 m to infinite but from the beginning was more like 2m-infinite, and now even further than 2m I think.
I will call the doctor tomorrow but would like to know some expert opinion. Should I really have 1m-infinite on focus vision? Is the worsening something to worry about or something I should just get used to? Is there something to improve this? Should I stop being worried and just be grateful for having better vision than before surgery?
Thank you so much,
Federico

In my case, in both eyes, for the first few weeks I had better near vision and worse distant vision, but as the eyes healed, the near vision was slightly distant while the distance vision improved. I don't know if the swelling of the cornea makes the eyes a little longer (myopic) and after the swelling goes away they go back to normal?!
