visual distortions after cataract surgery with macular puckers

I had surgery in April 2024 for glaucoma and surgeon suggested cataract surgery as well. I did not need the cataract surgery but he thought it would lower my eye pressure. My vision in the affected has been garble since the surgery. I went for a 2nd opinion and they discovered a macular pucker. At first the new surgeon made it sound urgent, then at 2nd visit he said let’s wait. Contradicting himself. Scary!
I have decided no more eye surgeries. Just too risky. He said no guarantees. Just my thoughts.

Deciding to have or not to have this kind of surgery is so difficult. I am finding that the macular pucker is getting worse, so I think I should go ahead with the surgery one day, and the next day, no, I won't have it! Apparently, even if you have the surgery, the eye will not return to the vision you had before the pucker. As I said in my previous post, there is so much contradictory information on the web, and also from surgeons, it seems. Best wishes, Edale
