I too have elevated cobalt, 13,but low chromium . Waiting on Ortho consult again..
But issue when I had cataracts removed, then opacification happened, treated with Yag laser but still needed new Rx glasses as Dr said it was my astigmatism
After too much reading I'm afraid I'm having irreversible retinal, optic nerve damage as I'm blurry a lot
I had to postpone revision due to pandemic( no operating rooms available) then my disabled daughter needed care and colon surgery
Now I'm needing knee replacements but also this 2008 MoM implant needs to come out? Very little pain, some rotation issues but walk 2 miles
It's all so depressing and I fear my vision will get worse but.. if revision done will vision just stay same as damage done?

I have vision issues as well…ive noticed after each chelation treatment, my “floaters” are horrible! My eyes water tons…I can’t tell if I’m crying or if my eyes are just tearing…I guess a little of both. I can’t control the crying anymore, it’s so weird
