What is procedure for pre cataract surgery? I’ve worn hard contacts for 50 yrs, never been corrected with glasses. Now told that I will need to be contact free for 3 weeks. OD gave me -12.00 soft contacts to try. Wonder if I could just do one eye at a time maybe couple months or so apart. Then I could at least wear 1 contact. Also, besides myopia, have astigmatism, keratoconus, dry eye syndrome. Any thoughts, suggestions or experience with these symptoms. Pretty concerned for my future vision!

Thank you for sharing your question. Yes, this appearance can still happen with many implants, especially if the patient has a large pupil exposing more of the implant. Some patients like the look. Speak with your ophthalmologist about your concerns. For the sake of improved vision the surgery...
Thank you for sharing your question. Your complaints are not unusual. Sometimes the problem is a film on the implant which can be lasered or it can be dryness for which you should use artificial tears. Often it just takes extra time to recover. I hope this helps.
Good luck!
Thank you for sharing your questions. There is no way to know what’s causing your problem without an in-person consultation. Make an appointment with a board-certified ophthalmologist or oculoplastic surgeon for comprehensive evaluation.
Good luck!
