Frustrated Lady

I have to admit that I am a very frustrated lady these days.
I had cataract surgery not long ago and I am developing what they called "secondary cataract". I see more and more blurry.
So, I have to wait untill January 12,2017 until the ophtalmologist will blast that stuff with laser. Until then, I have to put up with it and that is why I am a very frustrated lady right now.
Anyone here having that problem?

@marlina I can imagine how frustrating it is to have gone through the surgery and still have issues, but soon it will be corrected and perfect sight restored.

Can they guaranty that after the 'blast' the problem won't come back? I have to say you are the only person who I know with this problem after cataract surgery. Sorry.....I can imagine how frustrated you are.

I have not had that problem, but I do know that I have a friend who is developing a cataract under another one. It must be rough.

@GardenGerty, It is rough. I am sure that if you ask your friend she will tell you how frustrated she is too.

My eyesight is diminishing to the point where I need glasses. Based on what my ophthalmologist recommends, I need digital progressive lenses, which unfortunately my vision insurance doesn't cover. So I will have to pay out of pocket for them, which will cost me anywhere from $400-$500. Not money I want to spend right now with the holidays upon us. So, most likely, I will wait until I get my tax return sometime in March or April before buying the glasses. I will just continue to be blind until then! haha
Merry Christmas Marlina!

@moffittjc The trouble is that I think they were not adjusted properly.

@marlina no, he was seeing floaters and discovered he had a detached retina, it took almost a year to get his whole sight back and working. Thankfully he called the doctor immediately so it was fixable.

I still haven't had mine done @marlina because I'm still not blind enough according to the insurance company. I sure am sorry you have to wait til then.

Oh that is not happy! I didn't know that cataracts would come back once removed.

Posterior Capsule Opacity
However, in about 20 percent of patients, the posterior portion of the capsule becomes hazy some time during cataract surgery recovery or even months later, causing PCO. Posterior capsule opacification occurs because lens epithelial cells remaining after cataract surgery have grown on the capsule.
In some cases, if the condition progresses significantly, your vision may be worse than it was before cataract surgery.
Find out which drugs make the list and if you are at risk for a cataract surgery complication.

Thankfully, no. I an sorry to hear of your eye problems. Is there no medicine you can use until then? And why the long waiting period?
