Weiss ring post-cataract surgery & lens implant

Weiss ring post-cataract surgery & lens implant

I have developed what I believe to be a Weiss ring in my right eye, a doughnut shaped floater which is quite annoying and distracting. I had cataract surgery and lens implants in April/May 2008, almost exactly two years ago. I understand from what little research I've done that in most instances the advice is to learn to live with the floater because there are risks with surgery to remove them that outweigh the benefits. I'm wondering, though, if having had the lens implant should raise any concerns that would mean I should get in touch with my ophthalmologist right away. Thanks!

Dear Janjodesigner,

I would recommend that you seek the care of your eyeMD.  Having a new onset or sudden change in your floaters warrants an immediate examination by your eyeMD to make sure that you do not have retinal tear, detachment.
