Thanks for your advice.  One more thing i forgot to inform you that even i have high KERatoconus for that reason cannot able to do LASIK so went for artificial replacement of lense.  Please guide me some more.  how to cure KERATACOnus and risk of retinal detachment and PCO together.

[James J Salz, M.D.]

Because you were highly nearsighted you already have an increased risk ot a retinal detachment and that risk is now higher since you had your natural lens removed and replaced.  You probably now have a cloudy capsule behind the implant and this can be fixed by making an opening in it with a laser in the doctors office.  However, that will further increase your risk of a detachment so I would recommend that you first get an evaluation from a retinal specialist to see if you have weak areas of your retina that could be treated with a laser.  this will decrease your risk of a retinal detachment.  The chances are you will do well but take your time, treat only one eye at a time.
