Went to my eye doctor this morning. He dilated my right eye and looked at both. I went over all the procedures the cornea specialist and eye surgeon had done, all my medications and all the new problems I am having.
He said he wants to definitely see what he can do for me with this cataract, though he said he may have some problems. He's not sure he will be able to get past all the scarring on my cornea. Some of it lies right in front of the cataract. But he said he definitely wants to try.
He said to keep using the drops as much as possible, and then sent me in to see the nurse to schedule the cataract surgery.
Since it's a secondary cataract, it's not a complicated procedure at all. They don't do any anesthesia, I can eat and drink the morning of surgery. It is a simple laser treatment that punctures a hole in the back part of the capsule where the cataract is and that clears up the cloudiness from my vision.
Right now, my vision in my left eye (my good one) is 20/50, and in my right eye is less than 20/5.
So, keep the prayers coming! And thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers thus far!
You are all appreciated more than you know!
Love and hugs to all,
Deb :)
