Diagnosed with symblepharon

Posted by sunnyjan @sunnyjan, Jul 25 2:14pm

I was diagnosed with symblepharon (both eyes-stage 2) and they are trying to determine the cause and to see if the condition is still active. I have arthritis and had numerous tests which were all normal. I was also tested for pemphigoid which was negative.

I use eye drops every 2-3 hours and a gel at night because of dry eye disease.

I need cataract surgery and my vision is very poor. Are you able to have cataract surgery with symblepharon and achieve good outcomes? I do not want the symblepharon to get worse.

Thank you.
