Cataracts Treatment

Question by JD: What caused my African dwarf frog to have cloudy eyes?
Hi I have an African dwarf frog whom I’ve had for quite awhile and he’s developed what looks like cataracts. It hasn’t detered him any he’s still lively and eats normal. Does anyone know what might be a cause or if it’s treatable or is he going to be blind?

If the frog is worth the expense and trouble, I suggest you consult a vet. People here may suggest disease or whatever but it’s not a great idea to rely on those who can’t even see it and who aren’t pros.

Question by cougar: I had cataract surgery on both eyes with PCRI procedure performed.?
My procedures were one week apart due to my poor vision. I got checked yesterday and she said I can legally drive without glasses. I know she couldn’t correct the astigmatism 100%. I was told to just pick up reading glasses for the computer and reading at the dollar store for now. These glasses aren’t much help, make it somewhat clearer but not perfect. I’m so frustrated because I can’t see the floor clearly or anything more than 8 feet in front of me clearly. I can’t get glasses for 4 weeks and feel so depressed with this change. I’m an active person and can’t even return to work like this. Do your eyes keep improving for a few weeks or is this the sight I’m left with. I have 1.75 and 3.50 from dollar store, but still not clear. Is the astigmatism causing this. I’m going to go crazy waiting 4 weeks. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Your Vision can change over the next several weeks, which is why some doctors won’t prescribe until 5 weeks or so after surgery. You may have to change the lenses more than once if you get an Rx too soon.

In respect to the readers, the higher the number the closer you would have to hold the print.So if you can choose something that is clear at about 18 inches for reading and then something for arms length for the computer, that might work. +3.50 sounds too strong for readers for you, especially if you can see relatively well with no correction for distance. You might try a +2.50 and for computer you might want to start at 1.25.

Question by babaass: Cataract Surgery on Both Eyes?
I have had a distance lens put in and now the The other one is for “distance.” He said if I have it for near it is possible that I may have to wear glasses to see anyhow for close up but them again maybe not. Has anyone else had this done and which is the the better way? Should you have both lens the same and for sure have to wear glasses for close ups or should you have one for “distance” & the other one for “near” and take a chance of not having to wear reading glasses for close ups to read things.
Do you know they regretted getting different lens? One for far and one for near.

The great majority I have ever met prefer clear distance vision in both eyes , and use readers.

I have met many who regretted getting one for close and one for distance. That is also done often with laser correction, and most I have met who had that done regret it also.

Question by Elizabeth C: I have this haze constantly on my eyes, what is it?
Im 20, and i know when i worked in old fashioned flourescent lights for two years thats where i got it. I went to three different basic eye doctors and they say they dont see anything wrong since its not cataracts etc. The haze gets worse in the dark but during the day I see sparkles everywhere. Would LASIK fix it??

I would go to a specialized eye doctors, ie: an ophthalmologist. “Basic” eye doctors, ie: optometrists, can only see certain things. An ophthalmologist will be able to tell if there’s anything past what an optometrist can.

Also, are you not sure you’re not having blood pressure problems and not a problem with your vision? Having high blood pressure can make you see ’sparkles’ in the daylight. Take notice next time this happens, see if you feel lightheaded or short of breath.
