Did you go back to your surgeon when this started happening? I was one of the unlucky folks rhat got post op cystoid macular edema. My surgeon got on top od it right away, but said it could come back. I also now have a retinal wrinkle so I see a retinal specialist twice a year and he also checks for CME at my visits.

@cjval52 I've had the kaleidoscope swirls awhile in my damaged eye before my cataract and psydo exfoliation glaucoma surgery. I was told by a surgeon I had a crease as well and not to worry about it. Epic fail. It takes possibly 10-15 yrs for glaucoma development, and I wasn't diagnosed until out of the blue, the world went dark and my eyelid felt weird, 1st reaction im having a stroke. I was scheduled for immediate surgery and my optic nerve destroyed. After a new cataract and building a drainage opening, 6 weeks later I have to have lazer surgery. 113 zaps and was scheduled for surgery on my other eye. It's just been a nightmare. My eyelid at least is kinda okay, I notice it but no one else can. I have to go every 3 months for eye pressure check ✔️. I have one decent eye and it's my dominant eye so I have to ensure it stays at a normal pressure. It took me quite awhile to retrain my good eye without blur. I didn't even think it would be a problem. I was having such a hard time adjusting glasses. My friend who is a nurse explained it. I feel like a worse train wreck than I did before all this 😪 my apologies for my venting. I don't have anyone to talk to anymore.
