Thank you Franbern for being so understanding and so pleased it all worked out for you both times. Unfortunately it is now 72 hours after my op and I still have virtually no vision in the eye. I am hoping to see my surgeon tomorrow and he can see if everything is as it should be. Fingers crossed.
Oh dear Abuelamia, you did exactly as I did and went into total melt down, at that stage . I phoned my daughter telling her I was unable to read anything and should never have had that op (first eye). Fortunately, she was calm, told me what I fool I was being to expect everything to be okay within a few hours of the op. Within 48 hours was fine - and when I had the second eye done a few months later, I was not so silly and willing to wait.
Yes you are right, too soon to worry. I have been home 8 hours and was instructed to administer the drops after being home for an hour and then again 5 hours later .
well, give it a chance, far too soon. you say you went home 30 mins later then removed cover to administer drops. how long had you been home! really can't expect to see clearly out of the eye when it has just been operated on>
Yes, I have a leaflet with instructions and telephone number. Just don’t want to appear a whittle by ringing too soon, if this is quite normal situation.
Much too soon to know. Give it a couple of days to settle before getting further advice, because my experience was that even 24 hours made a difference.
I know this post may be premature but would welcome other’s experience. This morning I had a cataract operation, surgeon said it went well and I felt it was painless and quick. I went home 30 minutes later. But, having taken off my shield to . administer drops, my vision is extremely cloudy in the operated eye. Sight in said eye wasn’t too bad pre op. Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it take to clear? If it is no better by Monday I will probably contact the hospital.
