Hello mauigirl17
Reading your post you mention after 2 years you have figured out what your issue is with eyes after cataract surgery-- I guess I don't understand what that was, do you then indeed have dry eyes? and if so what do you do for them.
Sorry for not understanding-- I am getting my cataract surgery in a week.---Thanks

I'm so sorry to hear this. A quick google search for "flickering after cataract surgery" led me to figure out that it was positive dysphotopsia on my own. During my post-op visit my doctor just told me to let it "settle down". He had no idea either. I kept going back and complaining about it and told him what I found on the internet. He acted like he had never heard of it. Really? He does 1,000 surgeries a year and not 1 single patient has ever had this?! Seriously. After feeling dismissed 4 times I made an appt in Cleveland. He referred me to a cornea specialist, who I saw this past week and was literally the worst doctor I have ever seen, period. He didn't want to listen to a word I said. I have this weird film on my eye. I don't know if it's on the surface or under the lens. He couldn't see it, yet my family can see it just by looking at me from a few feet away. He claims it's a reflection of the lens. It's not, because it bounces when I blink. What a total asshole. That's all I have to say. Just search "positive dysphotopsia" and you will find lots of information. Assuming you have flickering. If you have a dark arc, then it is negative dysphotopsia. They are different. I will let you know what I find out. My appt isn't until July 1. I wish you luck in your research. Go back to your doctor and tell him what you find, or better yet, find a better doctor!
