In reply to the discussion: Cataract surgery.... I'm scared. I'm blind in one eye. [View all]Rebl2
(14,868 posts)first one done July 2021 with glaucoma surgery at same time. Second eye done two weeks later (both eyes I had to go in the day after to make sure pressure was okay). Actually when I had second surgery (in morning) by afternoon had terrific headache and very sick to my stomach. Immediately called eye doctor and had me come in and the pressure had gone sky high and they drained fluid from eye and immediately headache got better as well as nausea and pressure went down of course. They warned me with both surgeries it could happen. By April 2022, I started noticing my eyesight was not as good as it was, which is that haze you speak of. The eye dr. said he could tell it was happening. I am going to try to wait until next spring to do the laser procedure. We will see. My eye doctor said its not unusual for that haze to happen and some people have it happen within a couple of months of cataract surgery, but its rare that would happen.
