discomfort after cataract surgery (RLE)

[SUSIEQ11]

my vision after monofocal lens implant is excellent, however, my eye doesnt feel right.  I have a sensation of the eyeball getting stuck sometimes, also have problems with glare, particularly edge glare and sometimes the eye `wigs out' a bit and won't relax.  What is causing this and what can be done prabout it? Sometimes I find it hard to just relax and be myself.

Hi

Thanks for your comments.  Can you tell me what operation you are referring to?  I have already had one IOL removed successfully (a multifocal lens) so that isnt really an option.  The difficulty I have is that my surgeon is in London (4 hours away), however, if this problem can be dealt with I will do whatever it takes.  I would give anything just to feel normal and myself again.

Thanks

Susan

Hello,
Patients may experience glare after surgery from light scattering at the edges of the new lens. In most cases, this is a temporary problem that resolves after a few weeks. Sometimes, the problem lasts, and the patient needs another operation. Hence I would suggest you to get it evaluated from your doctor.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
