Slow degradation of my vision. Seeing a retina specialist

When doctor S. Hunt removed the cataract from my eye (or so he says) is when I lost my vision, As soon as the bandage was removed the vision was all of a sudden gone.and I feel as though there is something sharp moving around in my eye and now, only just after the procedure do I have glucoma. The other eye that he did not touch is fine, only that the eye is amblyoptic and legally blind since birth. But yes you are correct, medications have a large affect on the body including the eyes. The other opthamalagists here where I live will not address the issues with the problem eye. They only prescribe for the glucoma. Thank you for caring.

Peach414144, I do care. I sure wish there was something that I could say or do that could help your condition.
My first thought is to ask you if you have someone who accompanies you to your appointment? It is good to have a second set of ears, and especially an extra voice to speak for you and with you about your diagnosis and treatment.
I also have a question for you. This is one that we struggled with concerning a family member. What kind of loss of vision care have your doctors offered to you? There are many assistive devices that can help to deal with loss of vision: lighting, magifycation devices, voiced news delivery, phones for visually impaired.....
Hugs to you.

@peach414144 Hi Peach, the same thing happened to me when I got my cataract surgery. The sack got damaged, it is called PCO: Posterior capsule opacification. I was so excited, but then... it took another year and a half for doctors to do laser, they were afraid I was going to have another dettachment. Thank God it worked out, now my bad eye is my good eye. In regards to the injections, I take it one day at a time, I try not to think about it, I do carry a stress ball with me, to keep me calm. Hope this helps.
