Cataract after Preserflo treatment

[ocicka]

I'm 4 months after glaucoma surgery / preseflo, I still have blurred vision - today I was diagnosed with a cataract on the operated eye and also retinal swelling. Does anyone have experience with such a case - how to treat it (cataract surgery will help). I will be glad for the reactions - experience.

Thank you

My eye took several months (about 9 months) to settle down after Presserflo shunt but it eventually did, getting slowly better. I had blurry vision too. then I had to have a cataract on that eye removed. I was told that years of using prostaglandin eye drops can accelerate formation of cataracts. I will have to have the other eye done soon as well (cataract).

I wish you all the best, it is not an easy time to go through and can be very worrying I know. But hopefully you will be like me and it will be OK in the end. I think we all must heal at different rates and we have to be patient maybe. Again not easy so I sympathise a lot.

Dear Astilbe,

Cataracts are very common after eye surgery so you’re not alone. Removal is a straightforward process.
