Cataracts Treatment

Question by parttha: I was operated for retinal detachment…Is it possible for me to do a laser surgery?
I was operated for foreign body removal + retinal detachment + cataract on my left eye (right eye is normal). Even after all this my vision is only 6/24 because the detachment has taken part in the central part of my vision and has left a scar. Even 2 years after the surgery i am not able to synchronize both my eye to view an object.. because quality of my left vision is so poor..

Right now I have developed a dark circles under my eyes… It has formed like a thick patch. I really dont know what to do. I went to dermatoligist and i did cosmo peel and other peels for 8 weeks but nothing worked, dark circles are becoming much more thicker.

My questions are
i) Is there any latest technology to operate my retina and bring it back to normal so that i can have 6/6 vision
ii) Seriously I would like to get rid of the dark circles. I looking like an alien with those dark circles (patches). I would like to know the basic reasons (I usually sleep more than 7 hrs a day) and the methods to get rid of the same

Question by arodriq: Is it possible to be a special agent in the FBI if you are blind in one eye?
I am interested in joining the FBI but as my question states, I have one major setback. I’m curious if I should even begin pursuing a career in this field. I was born with a cataract in my left eye and after having it removed around 6 years ago, the doctors determined that the nerves in my eye did not develop. I am legally blind in that eye but still have some vision. Not much…I can make out objects but cannot see details. I have full peripheral vision, but again, on the left side I cannot make out details. I read that you must have 20/200 vision uncorrected, in both eyes, 20/20 corrected vision in one eye, and 20/40 corrected in the other eye. I have 20/20 corrected vision in my right eye, but somewhere around 20/2000 (I could be wrong about this number…but let’s just say it was a very high number) vision in my other eye. Is there anyway around this? Thanks.

No. You would also be excluded from every law enforcement job in the country that require driving or firearms use. Most require vison in both eyes to be correctable to close to 20/20, 20/40.

Question by All Time Low <3 [Ellie :P]: Is it possible for me to become a doctor if i have serious eye conditions..?
Is it possible for me to become a doctor if i have serious eye conditions..?
First of all, i’m only 14, so i’m not looking to be a doctor for another few years, but i’d like to do it when i’m older.
I’m half blind.. I was born with Glaucoma and Cataracts, have 2 valves, previous detached retina, and have had dozens of operations. I can see ok to get around, and it is improving, so hopefully it won’t be this bad later in life. I can read normal sized writing usually. Is ther any way i could do anything medical when i’m older?

I know you’ll probably all say no, but this is something i really do want to do so i was just wondering

Thanks ;D

And sorry if this is the wrong section… Asked it in the Higher Level Education section too but thought you people might know better Thanks

You can’t do any surgery with those eyes. But you can do other things, like optometrist, diagnostician, pharmacist, and much more! Work hard!

Cataracts cause cloudiness in the cornea. So removing them would remove any obstruction altering color, yes.

A white pupil reflex is cause for immediate trip to the doctor, preferably a pediatric ophthalmologist. Go to your pediatrician if an ophthalmologist cannot see your baby. If your doctor cannot see you tomorrow, find another who can. You are right, you do not wait for something like this.
