Cataracts Treatment

Question by Conjurer: Nystagmus and retinal dystrophy treatment?
Hello.
I was born with cataract in 1986 in both eyes, performed cataract surgery in 1987 – 1988 and got cataract removed, in 2001 – 2003 I’ve implanted IOLs for both eyes, my doctor says that I’ve Bilateral Nystagmus and Bilateral vitreo-retinal dystrophy.
My far sight is kinda poor, scored 20/40 and 20/60 with correction, I use glasses since my childhood and never used contacts.
Is there any possible way to improve? can retinal dystrophy and nystagmus be cured?

There are no effective treatments for most retinal dystrophies or for nystagmus. However, it would be best to ask this question of your eye doctor who is familiar with your case.

Your vision is only slightly reduced, should be legal for driving in most places and is unlikely to interfere with most jobs or schooling.

i was diagnosed with retinal detachment last jan 2007 on my right eye. underwent retinal attachment last feb 2007. but i noticed my vision is still blurry. my doctor found out that i do have to undergo cataract operation. is it ok for me to have the operation on my right eye again this december? even if its not a year when i had my retina attached? thanks

Is there anyway I can take care of my eyes from such? What are some of the complications I have to be wary too?
thanks Jennifer I am touched!

But one thing i like to ask you though in such as a case for laser clearance of membrane (if i used the term correctly), is it technically called ’surgery’ with perhaps surgical tables involved?

This is because my insurance said will not pay unless its a surgical procedure and the doctor said its not. i am confused.
