Positive Dysphotopsia after Cataract Surgery

Could you elaborate on the "minor" procedure on your left eye that went badly? Was that a yag by any chance? I have the Maddox Rod effect and my surgeon has gold me there is a chance that a yag would make matters worse.

Tillymack,
No, nothing to do with YAG capsulotomy.
Briefly: I had a 2nd FOV on my left eye to clear residual floaters. Dr said that, industrywide, there was a 1 in 7,500 chance of infection, but he had never had one in his 35 years as a surgeon, so he considered my risk 0%. Despite this glowing contention, in and after surgery, I had a bleed and infection that caused me permanent retinal damage. I have constant central scotomas that block my vision so that I can’t read a book or street signs. Binocularly, these left eye scotomas overwhelm the vision of the good, right eye causing, for example, clouds when there are no clouds and missing parts of electrical lines. Not good.
