Cataracts Treatment

Question by Jocelyn: I think I may have a cataract…on the verge of tears again…?
I’m only fifteen and i probably have a cataract because there is a white cloudy figure over my right pupil and my right eye vision is blurry. i don’t want to get surgery because i don’t have insurance and can’t afford it and i’m a little scared to get surgery on my eyeball. im sooooo scared right now. i just spent an hour crying because i will probably go blind. i did some research on it cataracts and its supposed to be the #1 cause of blindness worldwide. im so scared i will go blind. i am only 15, why is this happening to me? i’d rather be dead than blind. im soo scareddddd. i am on the verge of another panic attack. will i go blind soon or will that happen alot later on??? because my family can’t afford a 00-5000 surgery right now but i’m hoping that surgery won’t be too late in a few years because i will need time to save up the money. im so scared. somebody please help me beforei have a heart attack.

Calm down. Please. Normally cataracts grow pretty slowly. I am thinking your parents could get some finiancial aid to help it the cost of the surgery. I did on mine. I did not have insurance either. I have had removal on both eyes. Does not hurt at all. You will be put to sleep. I don’t think I had any pain. Have your parents talk to someone about finaiancial aid. Ask at your doctor’s office–maybe they can let you talk to someone (social worker) about the cost of the surgery. There are ways–if you can just stay calm and think and ask questions.

You cararact laser surgery for middle and looks good for a few years. Well it seems that the return is a secondary cataract. Have they ever do it again, laser treatment? best answer:

response princeidoc
Yes, can not be lasered again werdenaberihre probably “secondary cataract (posterior capsule opacification) such that for the second time will be Product rare. * * If it is, then that can be lasered … But I doubt that is a problem, even if that is what looks like “wie.Saatgut” to go for a test to find out what the problem know better?
