Yag laser did not remove cloudy vision after IOL implants

Posted , 15 users are following.

Can anyone shed some light on my dilemma??

I had Intraocular lenses/cataract surgery 7 years ago which was successful up to 3 months ago when I developed cloudy vision in my left eye. I went to a top eye specialist yesterday and he performed tag laser on it. He was puzzled when it didn't remove it and he said he never came across this before. I am worried as he said he wouldn't be happy about replacing the lens. What I cannot understand is that he didn't suggest an alternative option, I have another appointment to go back in May. This cloudiness really distorts my vision when I drive at night, I'm worried that I will have to live with this. Can anyone offer any advice on this please??

      at least now I know it can be corrected.

      I want to find somebody in Florida, though if I have to travel, I will.

      thanks

    Six months ago I had trifocal IOL lens implanted. PanOpix. Since then I’ve had 3 YAG surgeries and I still have cloudy vision in both eyes and not great vision in the other eye. They said I made an abundance of stem cells. Im very active and run my own company do 3D design work and photography. They keep saying wait for 12 months but I’m wondering if I should have the lens removed and just wear glasses. Would appreciate any advise because my doctor says my vision is good enough, but its really not. Driving at night is nearly impossible and I need to drive at night.
