Cataracts Treatment

Question by Victory: Anyone else with artificial lenses have this happen…?
I’m told that my artificial lenses (had cataract surgery in both eyes) reflect light just as cats’ eyes do. I’m very excited about this, partly because I admire cats, but also because I’m sure I can learn to position myself correctly to reflect light at will and scare the beejesus out of snotty young people.

Can anyone else do this?

I have one artificial lens in my right eye, got it as I had a bad infection after a cornea transplant.
I don’t know about being able to reflect light, but there are a few people I would like to scare the beejesus out of.

Ha ha good question.

Question by ash: I WANNA DO THIS INSTEAD OF HAVING ARTIFICIAL LENS.IS IT ALRIGHT?
I am talking about intra ocular implant, where the lens of the eye is removed, and replaced with an artificial lens.
The same thing as cataract surgery does.
my qs is,is this permanent and how far is it good compared to wearing artificial lenses?

Your question is a little unclear, do you have cateracts and you are trying to decide if you want the existing lenses in your eyes yanked out and replaced with implants vs getting glasses? If so, very few people get the glasses any more because they are very thick convex lenses and look quite unattractive and cause a lot of distortion etc.

Or do you have just have nearsightedness and want some kind of implant to correct for that? If that is the case, it seems like a rather extreme solution; if you hate wearing glasses, couldn’t you just get contacts?

Question by little_1_luck: What could this cat’s eye color be or mean?
I was visiting my local SPCA adoption shelter and there was a new ‘bush’ kitten brought in the day before; he is an average light orange tabby kitten. This kitten’s eyes are unusually colored though his irises are a normal gold/orange color, but the pupil and surrounding cornea has a blueish tint to it. It looks a bit like cataracts but instead of being concentrated and milky looking the blue is all over, even, and incredibly light almost giving the whole eye a very light cobalt tint. The kitten doesn’t appear to be blind either, he follows moving objects well and has no problems getting around. I am just curious what this odd blue haze look could be? I’ve seen many cats in my life but I’ve never seen this specific look.

Ok, first of all the cataract did not come from being hit by a car. I hope you took him to the vets when that happened. What are the signs of a cataract? It has nothing to do with being hit by a car, or age. Actually, I think in dogs the pupil (black part of the eye) will be gray or bluish in color. The surgery cost will depend on the vet and how much he charges. You should call around to your local vets and find out how much they charge. You may have to take him to a specialist for that surgery possibly at a veterinary college. Also, make sure the price they give you is the total cost of the surgery and not just the surgery alone with everything else added on to it like room and board, anesthesia, food, medications etc.

I had a vet screw me like that once. He told me the surgery for my cat would be $ 100. Well when I went to pick up the cat they handed me a bill for almost $ 400! Yes, the surgery was only $ 100, but it didn’t include everything else like food, medications etc. Needless to say, I never went back, even though I had been going there since they opened up for business. In fact, he screwed so many customers that he almost went out of business.
