After Retinal Detachment and Scleral Buckle, Oops! Starting a cataract. Any advice on lenses?
Hi! 36F, developed a chronic inferior retinal detachment (no RRD, mac on, recovering beautifully) and had surgery in early March. My retinal surgeon gave me the recommendation of seeing his preferred optometrist (after my last one failed to notice both retinal tears in one eye and the long progressing detachment in the other in October???) to get a temp set of contacts until my prescription becomes more long-term reliable next month. The opto was lovely, did much more involved testing than the previous one, but also noted that two months later I am already developing a cataract in the RD eye. :(
Anyone ever have a similar cataract surgery? Were you given a variety of options? I'm nearsighted, now -3.75 in the good eye and -6.75 in the bad one (though there's still time for mild healing improvement on that one). The good eye also has astigmatism. I'm in Ontario in case it's relevant for recommendations. Thanks so much!
