My husband just had cataract surgery in his right eye on June 30 2021. His eye is still blurry and red. Called his dr and he said he has a pucker in the macula and to decrease two of his eye drops from 3 drops to 1. They are neo-poly-dex and ketorolac 3 x a day for pharma. The pharma will decrease over the next two weeks until we hit 0. Dr was not sure if maybe allergic to first two drops or if it is the muclar. Will his eyesight improve. Very nerve wracking. Cancelled his second cataract surgery. Dr said cataract was big that he removed.

This blurry problem happened after cataract surgery. He already had the macular problem

Hello Teresa @hopeful33250 In reference to cataract surgery First of all I have severely dry eyes and have both upper eye lids completely closed but I had cataract surgery 2 yr ago on right eye and after the first day My vision was 20/20 then my eye pressure was to high and Dr had to decrease my meds 2nd week eye pressure still to high so he took me completely off of meds. Eye pressure went away but the 20/20 vision also went away and Dr also did the lazer surgery to supposedly get rid of film that was causing bury vision but it didn't work, the last time I saw him, he said unfortunately that happens sometime. He wanted to remove cataract from other eye and I told him no because my vision is much better in the eye that has a cataract than the one that he removed the cataract. Do you know if it is common to have blurry vision after cataract surgery ?

I had macular pucker in both eyes four years apart, not right after cataract surgery. I have had cataract surgery in both eyes, that too,, was two years apart But the macular pucker did happen Ruth after cataract surgery. My Retina Specialist follows my dry Macular degeneration every year and he found the pucker. I had surgery for both. Before I had the second retina surgery , I had an AAION in the same eye and lost vision in that eye for about 3 months. Still don’t know why I had the eye stroke.

Yes, I am comfortable giving more detail about my condition. Thank you.

Hello. My ophthalmologist indicated my puckered retina is not from cataract surgery, I wonder about it. My wavy vision is probably worsening and perhaps next time I see him this spring he will ask about going forth with surgery. He has told me it is entirely up to me, he can't advocate one way or another. I have read that surgery does not improve, only stabilizes to which he disagreed. A vitrectomy is what I believe it is called. My question for anyone dealing with a wrinkled retina is if they had the surgery, how it went, did it help, etc. I would like to see more clearly, that is for sure. Also, a cataract is developing in the other eye and I hate the thought of getting that corrected and possibly ending up with this condition in the other eye. One ophthalmologist told me the cataract surgery which is a shock to the eye could have caused the wrinkle, another one told me it would not cause the wrinkle. Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you.
