So after seeing my eye doctor, It was scheduled for me by the eye doctors office to schedule with my cataract surgeon for further evaluation on eye issues. My eye sight in my left eye was worsening after only a few months since my last visit plus, I have also been experiencing a great amount of glare in bright lights and the sun which continue to be hard to bear. The eye doctor said I have swelling in both eyes, some scarring, and The left eye has some bleeding. I had cataract surgery in March of 2014. I had retinal detachments in July and October of 2013.
My cataract surgeon suggested I schedule for a YAG Laser Posterior Capsulotomy, which is quick and will clear up the distortion and glare, one eye at a time. I am not thrilled about having another surgery obviously, but feel confident in the doctors I am seeing for this, yet am concerned just the same!
Any surgery has risks, obviously...! Further RD'S? Is the surgery making that more possible, or if I don't do this procedure would my eyes continue to have increased glare and scarring and loss of vision?
I have to admit that my concerns come from having one thing after the next, and possibly causing more future issues because of another intervention or surgery of sorts? How much can the eye take, and at what point is more surgery making it worse, or not worth the added risks?
What is the recovery time from this procedure? At what point, if I go ahead with this surgery as scheduled, do I know that this has been successful?
Thank you for any insight you may have
