Did the opthalmologist ever talk to you about lense replacement instead of LPI? Just curious, since this is what I will have done if heaven forbid I have any problems.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thank you for sharing.

My cataracts is mild and doesn't affect my vision. Basically, no reputable surgeon will do this for someone young with mild age-related slowly progressing cataracts. Lens replacement is much more invasive and risky compared to LPI. I just had my revision surgery (which is rare but DOES happen). My hole is now bigger and the doctor says it will NOT close again, but I'm on an aggressive anti-inflammation routine to make sure.
