hope everything is ok now

Good luck. I have had both eyes done and they told me at the time to not rub my eyes at all. I guess there is a reason why. I am very careful even when I wash my eye area. I hope everything works out for you.

pab: Actually, he didn't need to use stitches. He used a new method which only make a minute slit and then inserts a syring-type needle and emulsifies the catact, sucks it out and inserts the new implant. I was awake through both operations and never had a problem.

I had 1 eye done this same way, was never told not to rub my eye though. Guess I'd better stop. Good luck with yours.

This is good to know. I have to make an appointment with the eye doctor. I Think I am getting a cataract will find out then. Next months check goes to the doctor and the dog. lol

I had mine done about 3 years ago the same way, I think, because I did not have stitches. And they told us at the time that a problem could arise with the plastic that holds the lens in until it attaches. And over the past year and a half I have been losing vision. I even got glasses. It got so bad by last month, I could not read the computer, everything looked faded. I had my right eye done about 2 weeks ago and the world opened up, I can see. I hope to have the other eye done after Xmas. It is a 5 minute procedure, the dr. uses a laser to burn it off. No pain. During this same time I had itching also, it was from dryness. Just something to be aware of, I am told it does not happen to every one.

Hope the drops work and the doc visit is all good news. Let us know the results.

I actually did not know that could happen, kind of scary. Have to tell my friend to not rub her eyes.

Prayers are with you.

Dr. never told me anything about rubbing my eye after my cataract surgery! Live and learn. So glad I found the people on this board, wonderful people. Now I have macro retinal aneurysm in my left eye. Had a procedure done 6 weeks ago and had it again last week. Back in 5 weeks for checkup and will possibly have to do the laser. Procedure consisted of an injection ( medicine ) directly into my eye. Awake all through it , Wasn't bad at all. Uncomfortable for a day or two after.

Sorry I didn't back to you. I was (guess what?) sewing all day!! My eye cleared up last night before I went to bed and when I got up it was all gone! Whew :!: :!: I cancelled my appointment and chastised myself heartedly :roll:
