CATARACT SURGERY & PRED
Today they called to say I could have my right eye
cataract
surgery
done this Monday. Do you think it advisable to do so and also, if I do should I drop the pred back down to 11 mg starting tonight? I would not like waiting til July, but is it worth risking whatever.

Confused…?
Have had two successful Trabs. and now have been advised that Cataracts are present and are beginning to cause a problem, but have been advised that
cataract
surgery
may have negative effect on Trabs? Any experience of this situation out there?👍

A YAG capsulotomy
A YAG capsulotomy is a special laser treatment used to improve the vision after
cataract
surgery
. It is a simple, commonly performed procedure which is very safe. During your cataract operation, the natural ens inside the eye that had become cloudy is removed.

UPDATE ON CATARACT SURGERY
Hi all! Had my right eye done yesterday. Seems to have gone very well. Easy peezy. Good drugs. Took about 20 minutes at the most. Everything is so much brighter today. I can now see the dirt on my floors. Nasty! I didn't realize how difficult reading was and my specs weren't helping. Lol. I do have 3

Cataract surgery due to steroid medication
Hi all, I have Minimal Change Disease and have been on various doses of prednisolone since Nov 22. I've now got cataracts and my right eye needs surgery. I'm 39 and most of the information online seems targeted at older patients. Can anyone offer advice? For instance I'm used to wearing glasses for short-sightedness

Cataract surgery?
Has anyone had any
cataract
surgery
while taking Pegasys? Is there a problem with eye surgery while taking Interferon? I'm about to be changed over to Pegasys from Hydrea, and also about to have
cataract
surgery
. Some of the things I've read seem to indicate that may be a problem.

cataract
surgery
can read lines 2 or 3.

upcoming cataract surgery
Any advice? do I take prednisone after surgery since I will be fasting overnight? How long do I have to wait until I can bend over? Does it take longer to heal with prednisone? I'm on 3 mg.

cataract surgery and prednisolone dose
Will I have to increase the dose to have
cataract
surgery
? Would it be better to have it done sooner rather than later (relative terms anyway these days)?
