Sadf A asked:
I had a vitrectomy/cataract op 2 days ago and my vision in that eye is really fuzzy. My other eye was operated on and right after the patch came off I could see well in that eye, but with this one everything is fuzzy, a lot worse than the other eye. How long did it take for you guys to see as good as it was gonna ge?

Catherine asked:
My dog is 12 years old and her eyes are looking pretty cloudy lately. It seems like she can see fine, but there’s not really any way to know. I’m thinking about asking the vet about cataract surgery and was just wondering how much it costs roughly.

Terrie D asked:
I’m 39 and have cataracts in both eyes. Yes, I know that it is a young age to have them. My ophthalmologist has scheduled me for surgery on April 15th for my left eye and the 29th for my right. Why not do them at the same time? My left eye is a lazy eye, but my right eye has more of a cataract in it. What a mess!! LOL! I go back for measurements this week. Just wondering. Thanks!

quizkid asked:
I heard that a cataract is a preventable disease. Now that I already have it, is it too late for me to do anything to get rid of it without eye surgery?
Is there any alternative medicine for treating cataracts?

KoLesLaW asked: I am in the process of designing a website with videos about certain techniques in cataract surgery. The client gave these “categories”, but I feel they’re not very organized and consistent. Some seem like conditions, some are actual techniques. Can anyone help with a more logical/generic way of organizing these terms, thereby reducing the number of final categories?
Astigmatism Management
Capsulorhexis
IOL Insertion
Irrigation & Aspiration
Pediatric Cataracts
Phacoemulsification
Postoperative Complications
Weak Zonules
Wound Construction
Because I need to break down cataract surgery into categories. I’m asking for suggestions of broader topics of techniques within cataract surgery

My golden is 8 years old and has had the cataract for the past few years. Just recently it started getting bigger and I’m concerned her vision has been affected. Are cataract surgeries on dogs effective?

PrayerLady asked:
I’m in my late forties and haven’t seen the eye doctor in about six years. I’m going within the month and am concerned about having cataracts because my grandparents always had them. What are the signs or symptoms of a cataract?

Chameleon asked:
My mom is not a candidate for lasik eye surgery, but she can have eye surgery, which she is kind of scared to have. She has concerns. She would also like to have cataract surgery. I guess that is when they input an implant to make the eye area look younger and healthier. What would be the right thing to do? Which procedure should she have first? I am asking because I know that both procedures may cause swelling, inflammation, some negative effects… Who can she ask about this? Is it safe?
