At that same visit, my surgeon also said if the black line along the left outer eyes doesn't disappear, it can be lasered.what another eye procedure!! I don't think so! Atleast not for a very long time & only if necessary.
My surgeon says this will likely go away in time as the dark line will disappear in time which he expressed at my 6 week checkup when he wrote a prescription for progressive lenses because I was having trouble with bifocal, the line. My right eye post surgery has some cloudiness at the center & horizontal glare when I look at bright lights. This saddens me because after 60 years of wearing glasses including 30 years with progressive lenses, I felt lost with my vision changes post surgery & worked extremely hard to find ways to provide myself with comfortable glasses where I could see the computer & close up as both eyes were healing. I did my best to learn as much as I could online so I could feel somewhat confident asking questions, & hoping to have a meaningful discussion with my surgeon which never happened. There was never pre or post surgeon discussion with me or my anyone his staff about possible side effects. I read about Dysphotopsia & brought this issue up with my surgeon at my 4 week visit & he dismissed it as the incision healing. I'm responding because I also experience the vertical dark line along the outer edge of my left eye. Hi Peggy, Katherine & Everyone who's contributed such important information about pre & post cataract surgery. My cataract surgery was done on my left eye on 6/25/18 & then on the right eye on 7/10/18. I am not comfortable right now to have my other eye operated, because in addition to the black rim, I still feel uncomfortable with my eyelid, I feel as if it is swollen or something is making it heavy, strange to say though, the eyelid is not drooping or anything, in fact it is lifted up, I don't know why, but if I were to have a blepharoplasty, it would not be necessary now. I am going to live with this tiny black rim and hope that it will somehow go unnoticed. I do know I have tiny pupls, every time they dilate my pupls they complain how small they are. From various reading I have come across, some say the cause of ND is tiny pupils, others say tiny pupils would lessen the chance of ND, so I am lost. I can't tell if the IOL I have is rounded edge or squared edge, I do have the ID card of my IOL, it is Alcon, AcrySof1Q, model SN60WF. I am not experiencing a severe problem, fortunately it is a thin black rim at the far end corner of my eye. I also tried to bring this subject to my surgeon, I actually had my tablet with this topic on to show him (exactly the papers by Vanessa Caceres), he totally dismissed me as if I was talking nonsense.
Again, thank you.,Īs a matter of fact, I did read about (and a lot, too) negative dysphotopsia when I was looking for answers to this black curved rim I feel to have in my eye after the surgery. It is of great comfort to me to be able to reach out to good people, professionals or otherwise in this forum, to share, to learn and to be guided. The thing that upsets me most that he did not even entertain the fact that I have this side effects, I can accept that no body replacement parts can match exactly the same as the originals, and eyes are so sentive, if only he would share my discomforts, tell me the reason. The replacement lens my surgeon used on me is a Alcon, acrySofIQ mod.SN60WF, I can't tell if it is hydrophylic acrylic or acrylic, but I presume it is not silicone. I am afraid of PMMA lens too as I looked it up in youtube, the operation looks complicated, I think of how the surgeon tries to position the lens manually, I get wearied, now that you told me about astigmatism, a possibility he didn't mention at all, I am definitely not going back to him. When I shift my eysight to the extreme right, it disappears. When I shfit my eyesight to my left, the line moves more a bit more inward to the left, too, but it does not come to the center. The thin black rim, right, it is a thin black, not straight line located permanently at the far end corner inside my right eye, it does not obstruct my center vision, it feels real, so real that I even try to push it away with my hand (it would be so great if only it works, sigh). Thank you indeed for your response, I so appreciate it.
