Hello!
As an interested layperson I like to say:
An aftercataract also called posterior capsule opacification is most likely.
You would need a yag laser capsulotomy.
Dear Doctor,
I had both eyes cataract surgery year ago.Cataract had developed very quickly and my vision went from -5 to -15 on the right eye in 5-6 months
. I had first operation on right eye and my vision was very good for first 10 months, better than left eye. Than ( I think( I started loosing vision on right eye. Similar as when I had cataract, but not so drastic. Went to visit doctor two days ago and interior of the eye and send me to OCT, which I will have tomorrow.
Doctor didn´t answer my questions clearly, but he said it is not Retina detachment. time to time I have some pain in that eye, as well.
I am warring what can be. I know I should wait OCT, but I cannot help myself.
Thanking you in advance
The medicine you are taking ACULAR makes the dilation drops last longer. In fact its often used before cataract surgery for just that reason.
Your description strongly suggests cystoid macular edema, this is a common complication and does usually go away.
