Flashes and floaters after cataracts surgery and blurry vison

@chrispie I am also not going back to the same place. They treated me poorly after my first surgery when I told them my vision was way too strong. I asked for them to correct my vision and they were all excited and said I would be able to see clearly without glasses. Well, in my one eye I can see to the moon I think, LOL... but not across the room to the TV it's too strong. When I told them this their answer was... "this surgery is to remove your cataract, not to make your vision perfect... and that's what we did"... I was shocked. They also told me after that appointment there was no need to return for further check ups... So I'm looking for someone else.

@juliannabeanie
Flashes and floaters?
Get into see a Retina Specialist ASAP!!! They can help preserve your vision if you don't wait too long.
Good luck.
@juliannabeanie I had the same problem after the first surgery and the surgeon said ‘it’s all in your head’ which technically is true! Went to a different surgeon for next eye and what a change he was so lovely and said the first surgeon had made me longsighted in one eye and short sighted in the other.. he sorted it out and it all calmed down .. all the very best to you

@juliannabeanie Sounds a little like the clinic I went to. I called twice and the doctor did not follow up with me for either call. At this clinic the cost for each eye was one thousand dollars, then an additional four hundred for using that surgery area. This had to be paid in addition to my medicare. I should have questioned it then, but I have a tendency to play down my gut feelings, sadly. The one thing they did state was that I would still have to use glasses to read. I use a simple cheap 125 pair from the dollar store. Now I have to use those glasses, make sure there is lot's of light, and then a magnifying glass. This is all a disgrace, and I should have stayed with the company I had been with for years. There are video's that were made by a tv anchor woman out of detroit, Michigan that committed sucide after the surgery. She was severely distraught over her postsurgery. I wish I had seen it before I got mine done. Maybe this all has to be looked into further? We have to chalk it up to a lesson learned, to always do more research and now follow up with a better doctor. Good for you for for it, but make sure you check the new one out very good.
