Guest guest Posted October 12, 2000 Report Share Posted October 12, 2000 Morning Rosemary.... My problem I have found out is not cataracts but a cloudyness on my retinas in the center. NOW I have to see the **** eye doctor every 6 months along with everything else. Both eyes....anyone else experiencing this? Called Macular Degeneration?? I was so concerned with my husband, as they found a growth in the back of his eye, I didn't get the name.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2000 Report Share Posted October 12, 2000 Carol - I see the eye doctor every six months, too. I have a clouded cornea. No medical term was ever given to me. Right side is paralysed so, hence, the cornea became damaged. I can tell light and darkness if I cover my good eye. That is all.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2000 Report Share Posted October 12, 2000 My husband said I screwed up!! He said it is my Optic Nerve that has the circle of cloudyness in the middle. I have to go to base next week to pull my records for Bethesda so I will find out the technical term then. I hate confusion......(especially on my part!!!!)

NOW I have to see the **** eye doctor every 6 months along with everything else. Both eyes....anyone else experiencing this? >> Hi there, I have this problem too. I'm now legally blind in the right eye. So, I'm extra careful of the left one. And that's the one that doesn't blink due to nerve damage from surgery. Geez!!! I use Celluvisc drops every waking hour and Refresh PM ointment at bedtime, both in the right and left eyes. June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2001 Report Share Posted January 29, 2001 Umm...I'm curious if there is anyone who knows the difference between a cataract and an inoperable opacity? I was told by the doctor that my opacity is inoperable and nothing will help. So, I'm curious to know if there is anyone else who has this problem or anyone's feedback. thanks ) June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2001 Report Share Posted January 29, 2001 Why not ask your opthamologist? Seems that's where you'll get the best answer. Let me know what he says. WHen I went to have my cataract done I was told that it would not improve my vision as my brain had never learned to see properly with that eye. They did say it would get rid of the shadow that had developed in the centre of my eye. Well not only did the shadow disappear but my vision improved a tremendous amount. Whereas I could not even recognize a face in that eye I can now read signs from far.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2001 Report Share Posted January 30, 2001 I am late getting on this thred, but I have 3 cataracs. One in each eye with the left being bigger than the right. I can not have them out yet becuse they are not " mature " yet. Go figure. Joanie " L.
