Post cataract op complications

Thank you grandtante and MawBroon for your response and kind words. I do still need prescription lens in sunglasses and will ask my optician about pale yellow lens.
My operation was at St Thomas's in London which has a very highly regarded ophthalmology department. My consultant has said he would be happy to exchange the lens and has promised that he would do the operation himself but he has emphasised that he cannot give any guarantee that the replacement would be any better than my existing lens because they just do not know who might be affected by this condition or why it happens. The consultant actually told me to go on the internet and do some research on the condition. He hasn't suggested that I 'put up with it' those were my words but he did say that I have to weigh up how bad my discomfort currently is versus the uncertainty that the replacement lens could be an improvement.

This is why I am reaching out to try and find any other suffers or anyone who has had an IOL replaced.

I can offer no advice, but lots of sympathy.
I do however think you should not just “put up with it”.
Can you get a second opinion or even better, get to
Moorfields Eye Hospital in London?
I know DH had his lenses ( or maybe just one) replaced when it became scratched after his cataract ops, but dot know the details.

I'm sorry I cannot help with the main problem, only with one of the more minor issues.

You say you are troubled by light and glare: the best thing for that is a pair of yellow sun glasses. They can be difficult to get hold of these days, as pale yellow lenses are not in fashion, but if all else fails a shop selling equipment to hunters is likely to have them, as some use them when out on a duck shoot.

They used to be sold too, as fog glasses for drivers.

I do hope some-one can advise you properly on whether to have another operation. Could your doctor not refer you to a specialist with experience of this rare condition?

Best wishes for a good solution.
