Cataracts Treatment

Question by SUPP: Are you able to become an ophthalmologist that only does small surgeries like laser surgery?
Everything about the career of the ophthalmologist seems right for me except the fact of surgery. I am fine with the idea of doing laser surgery but I however can not do any surgery blood related. I can be the assistant of a legit surgeon when it involves blood, but never a surgery for something involving so much pressure like the reattaching a retinal detachment, or removing a cataract and stuff like that.

Is there a way where I can become an ophthalmologist that only does small surgeries such as laser surgery? If not, are there any similar careers that would land me in a working environment of an eye clinic? I’m open to any office jobs! I am in high school and my passion for the human eye.

Question by Roger: My kitten has a mark on its left eye, almost looks like super tiny crater?
I took the kitten to the vet just 2 days previously for a checkup, and now that its eyes have opened fully I noticed there is a very very small little dot on its left eye, directly in the middle of its pupil. It looks like a tiny spoon scooped out a small bit of eye, small like a poppy seed. Could this be a cataract? I dont see any color change near it, just a strange little dent looking thing in the middle. The vet said nothing, maybe she didnt notice, or maybe this is normal? The cat seems to have fine vision, it explores all over the place without bumping into anything.

I noticed something that sounds exactly like this on my kitten’s eye and it went away. If you’re worried, call the vet and ask if she thinks its something to worry about.

Question by FroGgy an eArl.: Does this sound like cataracts?
I keep having trouble seeing. Like as if I have something in my eyes that makes it blurry like water in my eyes but I have no water in my eyes. My eyes hurt sometimes because I have to strain to see through the blurriness. It’s not an even blurriness. It just feels like there’s something in my eyes but there isn’t. I have to keep blinking to almost, like, reset my vision. Like if Im watching TV, I’ll have to keep blinking to keep my vision clear, otherwise, my eyes get to blurry. It’s kind of milky white blurriness.

I’ve had a couple of floaters for years (tiny specks sort of sliding around in my field of vision). My eye doctor said they’re normal, and not to worry about them.

However, it’s definitely a good idea to have your eyes checked for glaucoma every couple of years, especially if it’s in your family, and the doctor can let you know if you have any other problems. Even if a stranger on Yahoo Answers says floaters are OK, only a doctor can tell you for sure.
