How common is seeing large halos after cataract surgery ?

We Answered:

You can expect to have halos and blurred vision for up to a week after surgery as the eye is healing. There may be minor blurring, halos and flashes of light for up to 6 months afterwards.

Take the drops as directed. You will see your doctor again tomorrow and can ask him about it if still concerned.

Has anyone who have had cataract surgery have to go back in for a laser procedure to clear the lens?

We Answered:

The lens of the eye is encased in a capsule, like an M&M; when we do cataract surgery we take off the front shell and the inside of the shell but we leave behind the posterior shell (this is where the implant sits). Cells will sometimes collect on the posterior capsule and cause a haze. This happens in 40% of patient's that have had cataract surgery!!!! It just happens. The laser procedure takes about 5 minutes to perform and is painless!!!

Is it a pratice for a person with glacoma to have cataract surgery?

We Answered:

The ophthalmologist should have done a complete eye exam, which includes testing for glaucoma. He/she should be aware of your relative's eye history and medications. (Who prescribes these meds?)

Yes, it's normal to do cataract surgery on people with glaucoma.

Can't comment on the clinic, though. Cataract surgery is done as an outpatient procedure, and some doctors can get the procedure done in 20 minutes or less, so it is well suited to a clinic environment. (Bypassing the inherent inefficiencies of a hospital)
