I had cataract surgery 9 days ago. I had a monofocal lens for distance implanted. My vision has settled somewhat, I was seeing double print but this has more or less resolved.
My question is, why can I see hundreds of little water marks like dried water on a window. Mostly all tiny dots with two larger lines. Mostly these are to the right of my right eye but some are directly in front of the pupil in my direct line of vision. I’ve experienced floaters before and this does not feel like floaters.
The odd thing is I that whilst I had some of these transparent dots prior to my two stitch removal procedure on Monday, the two lines appeared that evening.
My surgeon has told me I had a very mature cataract with lots of fibrosis and that the capsule was not polished as she considered this risky. She explained that this can all be dealt with by a laser treatment in 3 months.
My question is how can I be sure it’s the capsule and not the outside of the lens that is actually dirty? The lens was irrigated prior to insertion. Is it possible that I am seeing dried water on the lens?
In the evening it’s less troublesome under artificial light conditions but during the day it’s extremely difficult not to focus on these dots.
Please can someone advise what this might be?
