I am having flash's of light on one side of the eye that I just had Cataract surgery in yesterday. I had a Retinal tear in both eyes 4 yrs. then one yr.later the other eye. This flash's remind me of that. I have my appt. this afternoon, but that is 5 hrs. away and I am really scared right now. Ive been trying to get ahold of my dau. from work to see if she can take off, but as you can see I am panicking right now..... does this happen after cataract surgery????
