Question by kmdtad@sbcglobal.net: Once you have a cataract removed by surgery, will it ever come back again???

Answer by gangadharan_nair
A cataract is a congenital or degenerative opacity of the lens. The main symptom is gradual, painless vision blurring. Diagnosis is by ophthalmoscopy and slit-lamp examination. Treatment is surgical removal and placement of an intraocular lens.
Cataract surgery is usually recommended for people who have loss of vision or vision abnormalities caused by clouding of the lens. Complications of cataract surgery are not common, and serious complications are rare. Most patients have better vision after cataract surgery.
In about 3% – 4% of cases, the entire lens cannot be removed and another procedure is required at a later date to remove all of the lens fragments. Most of these patients still do very well. In other very rare cases, infection can occur after cataract surgery, which can lead to permanent vision problems.

Question by Sammy3 ♥: Has anyone ever got a cataract from taking Seroquel?
Or do you know anythign about it??? thanks

Best answer:

Answer by RoofingPrincess
Quetiapine (the generic name for Seroquel) has been shown to cause cataracts (the lens of the eye becomes dull, not clear) in animals. There have been case reports of this side effect when Seroquel is used in high doses in humans. An eye exam may be indicated for people who take high doses of Seroquel.

My son took Seroquil as part of a study and ended up with tardive dyskinesia. If you develop involuntary muscles spasms or tremors, contact your doctor immediately. The damage can be permanent (even when you stop taking Seroquel).

Answer by cardiophile
Though your question is not for this section, you should do fine after a cataract surgery. Both my parents had it done, in fact my father has had it for both eyes. Both my parents are keeping fine, with good vision.
