Cataracts Treatment

Question by Abby(:: Can I Wear Contacts After I Had Eye Muscle Surgery?
A couple of months ago (On June 5th) I had eye muscle surgery on my left eye. It used to cross in. I asked my ophthalmologist if I could start wearing a contact lens on [only] my right eye (because I’m blind on my left eye). So I’m wondering if I can start wearing contacts.
And also for further more information: I’m 15 years old, I have a white cataract on my left eye, and my ophthalmologist said that I cannot wear my colored contact lens (personally only for my left eye) until my eye is fully healed. For further more information please let me know.

Thank you in advance

And by the way if there’s any ophthalmologist or any professional doctor that knows about this stuff that can help me with this, can you please let me know? I can’t call my ophthalmologist just to ask a question. =/

Again, thank you very much

Question by jackie: If I don’t wear my glasses my eye turns inward?
I have a cataract in my right eye – I wear varifocals with prescription
right -7.00 -1.00 +3.75
left +.50 0.00 +3.75

Recently when I take my glasses off – my right eye slides in towards my nose.

If I get surgery on my cataract – will this still be a problem afterwards – and will I still need reading glasses after surgery. It seems like I am getting a lazy eye – will this be a problem afterwards!

“If I get surgery on my cataract – will this still be a problem afterwards”

PROBABLY NOT

“and will I still need reading glasses after surgery”

YES, unless you pay extra (a lot extra) to get a multifocal lens

Question by TheEyeGuy: Why do eye diseases mostly occur in people who wear strong glasses or corrections for many years?
eye diseases like macular degeneration, retinal detachment, and cataracts?

Best answer:

Answer by Stormy
A lot of those conditions are more prone to the elderly, sometimes people with high negative prescriptions (myopes) are more prone to retinal detachments because their eye is more in the shape of an egg than round like average, leaving their retina more prone to damage.

I wouldn’t recommend it until checking with your eye doctor first to see what they say.
