| Jan. 25, 2017 PapaG | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Cataract Surgery Sorry for the late reply but I just saw this post. Word of caution to anyone considering cataract surgery. Get a 2nd opinion from an eye specialist! I had cataract surgery in both eyes in off season at a popular eye clinic. Took about 6 months before the glare on sunny days and halos at night to calm down. Thought all was fine because I could finally read the "ESPN Bottom Line" on TV! I was fine thru the 2014 season then mid 2015 season started noticing less ability to judge balls in the outfield and the "Bottom Line" was getting tough to read again. My left eye has become nothing but a blur and my overall vision can best be described as "Flat Light" (fellow snow skiers can relate). Now I've been told that I had Fuchs Dystrophy all along and the cataract surgery just inflamed it to where I now have to have partial cornea transplants in both eyes. This could have been avoided with a different less invasive treatment beforehand if the original Ophthalmologist had looked a little deeper. I share this just to suggest you ask about this before going under the knife. Good luck and hope to "see" you guys on the field again soon! |
