You are seeing brighter objects because earlier your vision was restricted due
to cataract. Glares & haloes is a factual problem with multifocal lenses. You may
get used to them with time.

Asked for male, 33 years old from Jaipur

I am 30 years old. 8 years ago I was disorganized with CRVO disorder. Due to small town and non availability of good doctors, I was told to leave the condition as it is and keep a check over the swelling occurred due to it. After 3 years I consult some other doctor in Pune where he told me I have swelling in my right eye as well. He prescribed few medicines but after few years my right eye vision became blur. I consulted few other doctors in Jaipur who prescribed steroid (prednisolone) to control the inner inflammation. Using steroid was a temporary solution but it helped developing cataract in my right eye. Now doctor says my left eye actual had CRAO instead of CRVO and it cannot be cured and as far as my right eye is concerned it has chronic uveitis along with cataract. Doctor has again prescribed steroid to settle uveitis post which a cataract surgery will be performed. Doctors are not giving a specific time for the surgery and I am facing challenges to perform my day to day activities. Can somebody please review and help me.

Cataract causes a lot of diffraction of light rays and glare.. surgery will definitely help.

Also if u have developed after cataract or PCO in right eye..It may be contributing to glare as well. This can be treatment readily by laser procedure popularly called YAG CAP.

you must have experience some relief from glare following ur right eye surgery.

Health Query

Hello sir My father underwent cataract surgery in left eye. The doctor told me that during the surgery he came to know that my father had posterior polar cataract. And during surgery cortex of lens was strongly adherent to posterior capsule. So he had to do anterior vitrectomyou also. After surgery he has blurred vision and now keratitis is cured after the medication. His vision is also improved after 5 days of surgery bt he says that he feels a horse shoe shaped black area in his visual field. . His retina is checked and it's normal. So what can be the reason for disabled black view? Should we wait for 1 month till the medication gets over or should we go for further investigation?Please tell.

Dear:-
posteriour polar cataract surgery needs better preplanned investigation (sle) to diagnosed accurately & manage accordingly.
As per your information, posterior capsule has been ruptured accidently. Posteriour capsule rupture will cause vitreous prolapse, keratitis, post. Op. Glaucoma, impairment of vision & other complication later also.
Through fundus examination is needed to exclude any retinal detachment or hole. Vitreous floater may be rule out also.
