Question:
The point is they don't consider it eligible, "ripe" or whatever becasue
it doesn't have the usual cataract symptoms. All they hear is me
complaining of a "ghost" image and they can't measure that on whatever
device it is they use for establishing a criteria for an operable
situation.
So, does anybody know how I should proceed to get an IOL
implant?
Answer:
I haven't heard of ghost images as a typical symptom of a cataract. I
developed ghost images AFTER my cataract surgery. They only occur in
special circumstances and are not generally a problem.
Someone else suggested that your problem (and mine) results from
uneveness in the cornea. In that case, removing the cataract won't help
you. My advice would be to get some second opinions but not to try to
diagnose yourself and then shop for someone who will do the surgery.
It is possible that some other solution can be found to your problem if
it is diagnosed properly. But if it is not too bad, it may be better
just to live with it.
