Question by justsomeguy: I’m 28 and have had cataracts at birth, and now I have artificial lenses. Can I fix this?
I’ve had 2 eye operations at age 10 to remove my cataract lenses, and recieved huge lens magnified glasses. After 3 years I had another operation for each eye to implant artificial lens apparently made from pigskin. The 2nd operation didn’t go so well and i was hospitalized for a week, after which they continued surgery on my left eye. The surgery in general improved my vision to being able to see without glasses, although not nearly as well as the average person. One eye sees better for close, while the other sees better for far. Therefore i have multifocal glasses nowadays.
My question is: Will i be able to take advantage of modern laser eye surgery with artificial lens?

Unfortunately the answer is probably no. The lenses that you are born with are squishy and muscles in your eyes can change their shape so that your eyes can switch from focusing on something far away to something close, or anything in between. Some newer intra-ocular lenses are also squishy, or move back and forth so that you can change where your eyes are focused to some degree, but right now, they’re honestly not great.

The lenses that they implanted into you are each only able to focus at one place and the distance your eyes are focusing can not be changed without glasses, contacts or refractive surgery. Laser eye surgery can be used to permanently change where your eyes are focusing, but you still won’t be able to keep something in focus as it moves closer or farther away from you without your multifocal glasses. You were given monovision, where one eye is made to focus far away and the other is focusing closer. This allows you to have two distances that will be focused well, but an object at any other distance will be blurry. So, for now you are probably stuck with what you have. If you are having problems with distance, you could go see an ophthalmologist to find out if laser surgery could sharpen your distance vision some, but this isn’t going to eliminate your need for multifocal glasses.

Question by SuzieQ92: I am hoping someone who has experienced this will answer. We have a 73 year old relative in another state?
who is experiencing double vision. She had a stroke in one eye many years ago, so she doesn’t see well out of that eye at all. She has been having double vision in her one good eye for over a month now. She has been to the eye doctor a couple of times, and he took her off of all medication that could cause double vision. The condition hasn’t improved.

The weird part is that she doesn’t see double in everything, but only words. When she tries to read street signs or books or words on television, she sees them double.

About 6 weeks ago, she had cataract surgery on her bad eye. Could cataract surgery adversely affected her good eye?

The doctor has ruled out any structural problems with the eye, so what could the other possibilities be that only words are seen double?

Thank you for any help you can give!
I tried to get in touch with RM, but he/she doesn’t allow e-mail. She has monocular double vision. The double vision is still there no matter which eye is covered.

Answer by RM
1. She almost certainly has binocular double vision, meaning if you cover one eye the double vision goes away. This is by far the most common type and is caused by misalignment of the eyes (for a lot of possible reasons). If for some reason she has monocular double vision then it is usually a problem in the eye itself.

2. My guess is that she has double vision for everything (meaning the misalignment of the eyes is always there) but she only notices it when reading due to the extra fidelity needed and some irritating overlap of letters.

There’s long list of possibilities to explain the misalignment. I’d start with her ophthalmologist because there’s a good chance its related to the cataract surgery (lens replacement not at the perfect angle?). If he doesn’t know then you should ideally go to a neuroophthalmologist to help sort it out.

Edit: Monocular double vision that is present in both eyes is extremely rare but not impossible (esp. since there is a possible stroke history). I have to say that its so rare that I have some doubt that its really present but if it is then it would be due to a problem in the occipital lobes of the brain. HOWEVER, if it really is monocular double vision then I suspect it is only in one of her eyes with the eye that had the cataract surgery being most likely (a problem in that lens). Get her eye doctor to check it. If she really has bilateral monocular double vision you should have her see a Neurologist also….or, better yet, a Neuroophthalmologist if there is one in your area.

Edit 2: When you get some answers please consider coming back to leave a comment with the final diagnosis.

Question by Lyndee: Has anyone ever heard of this?
I had laser surgery last week on my left eye called YAG Laser Surgery to remove the film build up on my new lens placed in my eye after cataract surgery. I went to my eye surgeon as a follow up appointment today. After a thorough examination and based also on what I told him, the doctor told me that there is a lot of inflammation in my eye. He told me that I have arthritis in my eye! He gave me Prednisone (an anti-inflammatory drug) to put in my eye 4 times a day. I am scheduled to go back to my eye surgeon on the 8th of November.

Has anyone ever had this problem before or has heard of it? How common is it to have arthritis in an eye? What kind of arthritis can get into an eye? I was completely speechless when he told me about this! I tried to look it up, but to no avail. Can anyone help me? Serious answers only please. Thank you.
The doctor gave me drops to put in my eye 4 times a day and yes they are Prednisone drops. Prednisone is a steroid but it can be used as a anti-inflammatory agent too. And yes the doctor told me I do indeed have arthritis in my eye. I just found out from the doctor’s office 5 minutes ago that I have rheumatoid arthritis in my left eye.
