Another Crystalen Patient

I had the crystalen inplanted in my left eye in Nov. 06. My vision is quite well. Very clear during the day and enjoying colors. I still have a problem seeing words on signs and struggle with closeup reading. The doctor said I have a stigmatism (sp?) and he will fix it via laszek procedure. My right was also done in Dec. 2006. I have having leakage/swelling problems. It's like looking through a cloud. Have gone to a Vitreorental specialist. Second visit yesterday and my right eye has not improved. She prescribed Nevanac drops 4 times a day along with Prednisolone Acetate Ophthalmic Suspension USP. If these drop don't take the swelling down, she is recommending an injection to the eyeball. I am going to get a second opinion. If anyone has experienced this, please let me know what you did and how you are doing not. Thanks for your imput.Another Cryst

good luck.  sounds like you might possibly have cystoid macular edema...a common complication of cataract extraction surgery...

Good news.  After my yesterday's appointment with my vitreorentinal doctor, my right eye is getting better. It only has a very small area now that is swollen.  I have been using Pred Forte drops 4 times a day and Nevanac drops 4 times a day. Have to go back in 6 weeks. Just wanted to give you an update.
