Cataract
I was recently diagnosed as having a left cataract. I was advised it may progress slowly or quickly. I recently suffered an injury to my left eye when the top of a 3 inch screw impacted my eye. It settled down after a few weeks. Its now 2 months later my vision continues to be foggy in my left eye. It was bearable until this week when after a 2 hour plane journey the cloudy vision greatly increased. i have a lot of floaters and the blurred vision is not improving. Is it possible the eye trauma accelerated progression of the cataract. As a child I'd had eye surgery to correct a Aquino or lazy eye. My right eye is 20/20 with no issues.
You need to get in as soon as possible to see an Eye MD. It is extremely important to make sure that this isn't a new problem such as a torn or detached retina. Traumatic cataracts can progress quickly. Call soon try and get in MONDAY. 9/12/16
