28 y/o got a Cataract in 1983 - Blind in my right eye - Should I get surgery? (Lasik need not apply)? - how long after foot surgery will the color return to my foot
If I have 4 years left on a cataract of the eye. At this time complete withdrawal of lenses is the only option. Over the past 24 years, I have not had a strong vision in his right eye by the distance of the lens. When I close my left eye, one can see the colors, the distance (15 feet) or in a position to see how many fingers of a person who is required, while behind them light (about 8 feet). Open with my left eye, I see nothing in my right eye when I think about it. My brain seems to shut it.
That's what the doctors told me I could be the operation with a 50:50-chance that my eyes were infected and complete removal of the eye if this should be necessary, may make the surgery and I did not notice a difference that small chance of success.
LASIK is not an option because no targets in mind. My eyes do not deform (not broken). I can visit the doctors in the area of Houston. If you know of a mad scientist who wants to create a computer in my right eye .. I'm game.

I have looked at 20 patients, the cataract surgery in children found no difficulty in obtaining a secondary objective. In many of these children, cataract surgery and aphakic suffered, wore a contact lens to help correct their vision.
If you have another condition of the eye, the door opens to an infection, the likelihood of infection significantly lower than 50/50...more than 5%. And intraocular infection (endophthalmitis) is easy to treat.
As with any surgery there are risks, and never a guarantee a dramatic improvement.
You can not Wheaton Eye Clinic. It is a glaucoma and cataract specialist, I do not know the name of Dr. Edward Sung (we referred to patients) to travel to Dallas / Houston for the winter. Some cataract surgeons very well there.
Even Baylor College of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology, Cullen Eye Institute is well in your area. It is a neuro-ophthalmologist, we refer to the patient.
It appears that you may need a second (or thirteenNote d) to help you, your decision on the operation.
Good luck to you ... I do not know whether the operation or not should be ... This decision must be by you and your family and close friends. But if you decide you need another opinion, please contact one of the two centers for the eyes ... recommended by my personal references of ophthalmology.
Yes they should surgury as soon as possible. Haveing catract reduced his vision in one eye to see or ever see it.
I tend to agree with General Paul 4 years visual system is mature. If there is damage to the rest of the structure in the eye of the result should be very good. But before you go directly into any surgery, I recommend at least two different opinions and much research to select the physician. Good luck!

they are actually remove "the image of the eye, so even if you had the surgery IMO is a little unlikely that you should use your eyes anyway. You probably have "Clear", even if you have a clearer picture there.
One way to do this test would be an optician and start with a contact lens (probably a higher goal) for a while. You do not say should be the long term ... just long enough to see if you can make a difference. if his whole life has changed, and his overall vision is better 1000X ... then start with all the means, taking account of the operation. But IMO, will probably happen is that you can not change your life. Sure, you look better on the eye "bad" on the right eye to close, but when both eyes are open, the brain probably almost immediately remove the evil eye again, whatever your activity "corrected" and has a better vision of it. with a temporary contact lens, it would be a good way to see IMO to try to determine whether corrective actionsng of the eye is worth ...
My mother-in-law is that the cataract surgery on Thursday. She is diabetic.
She was skeptical about the surgery, but his gaze is downward.
Before you are in an operation as much information as possible about the operation. I get at least 2 reviews.
This is an excellent source for cataract surgery.
His figures are wrong. The probability of infection for all lenses in cataract surgery secondary implant is 0.5%, if at all. In fact, it is even lower before but with the same 5-point munber.
When he left the capsule and the intraocular lens can either be placed in the capsule of age or prior to the market .. called Groove lenses .... a rear lens.
Their vision is excellent, if there is no damage to the retina or the nerve that the original injury.
The long period of poor vision is not something you need to get that. The fusion of images of very good that you learned this before the onset of cataracts. Already Neurophysiology intact ... are not unknown.
It will be good. You do not have the equipment .... Intraocular
I would not hesitate to do so recommended, or.
To answer whether it must be weighed the risks of the operation is (most respondents addressedd others) against the benefits (which sent at this stage, none of them).
What do you think? And I do not see "better": how a better idea of his right eye, which no use for most of his last years, had to improve your life?
If there are good reasons (eg with a perfect GP lens, but now can not tolerate contact lenses, his new job requires a degree of stereo vision, his personality, so that they do not try rather not, without know how good your vision to life, loves, a sport played by a better idea of his right eye, etc. requires), then they are certainly better than the (small) risk in the hands of a good surgeon.
If you have good reasons (such as your doctor suggested you have an unrealistic idea that a 90 +% chance, a 20/20 Vision with a total of stereopsis has no long-term consequences again, you want to contact sports), then Never ACCeptable to proceed with the surgery.
BTW, the risk of infection is low, but still are in treatment now (we can kill the organisms and control of inflammation, but at present) no treatment for bacterial toxins that cause direct damage to the retina. There are also long-term risks that can not be ignored: macular edema, chronic inflammation, retinal detachment, glaucoma, occurring many years af ter the surgery - although most doctors do not know much about these products, you can forget it's only 28 and if a surgeon believes that he can expect a lens inside the eye seam and that the rate of major complications have 0% over 50 years, a surgeon who does not believe in the future. Example of a not-so-possible scenario: make the procedure as it received (but not currenlty functional vision), he is happy, if you have 50 years to develop, glaucoma medicaiton insensitive, and make the operation must - respect, no cure is so old that this operation at the age of 28 years that had 1, 2 a.m. to 3 p.m. no glaucoma surgery. 4. The type of glaucoma secondsialist record, after a significant loss of vision due to uncontrolled glaucoma.
First question: What are you driving? Then compare these "benefits" to the risk.
Good luck.
Faith and trust is the right answer START "must believe that after having the operation, recommended alright.Since practitioners surgery is the best option, the rest, leaving your work. If a Christian and believe in miracles after surgery and God will you.Its surprise in mind.believe and everything will be alright.
