It varies from person to person.

It depends how fast they decide to develop to the point where it really interferes with your vision.

Could be months, could be a year or two

3 months for recovery?
idk about that. i know that it takes 3 months of your eye being stable to really be out of the woods as far as it redetaching.

how long the gas bubble lasts depends on what type of gas they use.
i had a gas bubble that lasted about 12 days and then i had one that lasted for 21 days.

did you have to wear that green “warning gas bubble in eye” wrist bands? its like a disclaimer. i kept mine cuz it was funny to me.
didn’t you find keeping your head face down was very hard? when i went to sleep i was basically smothering myself.
at one point i put my mattress on the floor and kept a space for my face to hang off the end and then put pillows for my forehead to lay on.
my neck/back hurt soooo bad from having to keep my head down.

Give your answer to this question below!

so my question is: in your opinion would you as a patient have the surgery to exchange the IOL? and as a medical professional would you recommend your patient have the surgery or not?
paul md:
see thats my whole dilemma. i already had the YAG done so it makes it that much more complicated to exchange the lens and i cannot have a piggy back cuz my eye is too small and won’t fit another lens. (the surgeon found that out already cuz the machines said i needed an outrageously powerful lense and he put the most powerful one they offer in my eye and was going to put the second lens in but it wouldn’t have fit cuz my eye is soooo small *thank god he couldn’t cuz it would have made my eyesight even worse*)

so its either exchange the lens or just wear glasses since i can’t have a piggy back.

Since the time from your surgery to now is relatively short, get the surgery and have the lens replaced. Otherwise you’ll be fighting this the rest of your life. Just do it. If there’s not much, if any scarring yet, the lens itself can be removed without damaging the capsule. But if you had a YAG done already, that complicates the second surgery. That’s why the piggyback lens seems smart as it doesn’t involve doing anything to the first lens which is now holding the vitreous back (so to speak).

Your results are not what is expected. That makes it impossible to tell you what is likely to happen without seeing you. If you are not satisfied with the answers you are getting from your present doctor, seek a second opinion.

My grandmother had to have cataract surgery a few years ago. They’ve made even more improvements since her experience. Most eye doctors would be able to tell you what they prefer, as far as whether you wait or not. In my family’s experience (2 grandparents, an aunt, and a couple of great aunts), they wait for the symptoms to affect your vision severely enough to interfere with your everyday life/tasks before they do surgery. The patient will often have to go in for several evaluations over the span of weeks or months in order to evaluate the progression of the cataracts. As with all things, that progress would determine when surgery would be best.

Ophthalmologists and other eye specialists would be able to evaluate an individual’s overall health and determine when the effects of “the problem” become worse than the side effects of “the cure”. In any specific case, all factors from medications, health history, and other pre-surgical evaluations would be considered in the decision.

6 weeks for most people. 3 months for some unlucky ones.

plus you will probably have some refractive error left over…meaning you’ll likely need glasses to get to your best acuity

The best flea medicine is the flea medicine you get from your vet, and it is well worth the trip. Time and again in Answers there are urgent questions from cat owners who have used a flea medication on their cats, the cat has somehow ingested it or they used the wrong kind (sometimes using dog flea meds), or they misapplied it, or used too much — and the cat is deathly ill. A flea med is a pesticide or a repellant, cats lick themselves, and this can cause devastating problems.

You should take your animals to the vet, or at the very least, call the vet and see what he recommends and how much and where the meds are to be applied.

A cat can indeed be shaved, especially in the summer months, and this is a good solution for an older cat who has trouble grooming nether parts. It is possible the vet can do it, or a groomer. For winter, though, you probably know (but if you don’t, here am I to save the day!) that there are heated pet beds. I have even seen one that is made something like a slipper — there is the slipper bottom, and then the kind of dome-like pocket. The thing is heated, and the cat crawls into this little fluffy, heated cave. For an older, arthritic cat who must be shaved, this is a good way to keep snuggy warm when the world isn’t.
