Very helpful video Dave. I watched it before I had my surgery to hear your story and experience. 2 weeks now since I had mine done, so I am back here again to watch as I am still having very blurry vision and remembered something you had said. Wonder if when I have my follow up if I end up being advised on Cystoid macular edema as well.
Glad that you had the laser done Dave. I have had cataract surgery in both eyes and also the YAG laser in both eyes 6 years later. I have experienced great results.
Thank you for this. I had cat surgery four weeks ago today. I have Macular all the cells in my left eye have worn out. I have a cataract there. They did my right eye which is Macular cataract scarring and blurring and they want to look at my Retina because I’m very light sensitive so I’m sometimes thinking that I have something like I’ll pay myself and they just haven’t come out with it yet so I found the cat surgery very difficult because of the lights is really really difficult. The nurse had to hold my hand. I found it difficult to keep my left eye open. They were operating on the right as well which obviously had to be open I found the whole thing quiteupsetting I had a needle biopsy in my head just after Easter and I’d have that down five times rather than Katrick surgery hasn’t made a lot of difference to me. Some colours are a bit brighter but I can’t distinguish between pink and red. I’ve spoken to the Macular society and the hospital and I think they may well have upset the sales at the back of the right eye so I’m not very happy. We go back to see them on the 6th of August my partner would come with me. I’m not overly happy about what happened. The surgeon did say he didn’t know much how much Vision I would get from it which is fine the hospital try to make out I wouldn’t need distance glasses, you know my reading glasses don’t work anymore. My magnifies are a bit dodgy now. I’m registered with Low Vision and partial Sight impairment but it’s getting worse. Thank you for this video.
Thanks for sharing your story. I’ve had cataract for about 2.5 years and I’m enduring. Glad you shared more in detail about associated risks. Also happy you eventually got positive outcome! Cheers!
Oh Dave, I literally cried with happiness for you as I watched this! I had to have this procedure as well, after cataract surgery. Before the second surgery all I could see was a blur of color...couldn't recognize Chris right in front of me while covering my good eye so I understand what you're talking about. It's like a miracle, isn't it?! So, so happy for you!! Here's to a magical, beautiful Christmas 💜🌲🎁🧑🎄
Im your new subscriber because of same case RP and cataract surgery. But the problem is i dont have enough money to get eye check specialist. I cant work when it happen to me until now since 2019 of december.

Sounds like I am developing cataracts as well. Have RP and in my early 30s glad to see there is some hope.

Sounds like you went the NHS route where one size fits all and any complications caused by the initial surgery will be treated at a later date?

Going threw mine being blurry
