Question:
Has anyone heard of this happening to anyone else? If so, what did they
do?
What were the long-term results? Are there any repositories of case-
histories of these kinds of problems? Book Recommendations? Where can
I go for more information?
Answer:
Don't despair! I am an ophthalmologist who performs cataract surgery
frequently. When your retina specialist feels you have fully recovered
from your retina surgery and your risk of redetachment is low, you can have
cataract surgery. Probably 99% of cataract surgeries result in a dramatic
improvement in vision! Since I do not know all the details, I cannot
comment on your specific case, but I'll bet the prognosis for visual
recovery is good to excellent!
