Cataracts Treatment

Question by Lou-Lou: Intraocular Lens (IOL) question?
I had a congenital cataract in my right eye, and subsequently had the lens removed when they did the cataract surgery. This was 26 years ago, and the optometric world wasn’t what it was like today, and I am now legally blind in my right eye. I have had a number of squint surgeries over the years. My question is, would it be possible to be now fitted with an IOL?

I’m also a Registered Nurse, so please don’t respond with information about the eye that I’m likely to already know.

The potential problem is that you may have amblyopia in the right eye If so, fitting an IOL will not make any difference.

you don’t need to produce them. and the insurance company doesn’t need to pay the bill.
