I also forgot to mention that occasionally, members of this BB have over the years, have aired their toubles and woes like talking to mates down the pub, there is even now and again talk about Wres, but that's a side issue really because some have been here so long, we've nearly forgotten what we started posting on in the first place? We're the 103 Amigo!!
"Posturing" now theres a word I hate! Also forgot to mention the heavy oil in my left eye used after one tear, hospital got out as much as they dared but now when i lie flat and look up, it's like having Aero bar bubbles and when I look down, I'm practically blind as the oil blocks the vision. Do have good consultant surgeon, he just said that all things considered, you can still see, you very nearly lost it on the left.
As for your left eye, it might be a vitreous floater (removing them caused me trouble) or the lens capsule has become cloudy, both common after cataract surgery. Cloudy capsule cured by simple laser procedure. No need to tell you that if concerned, go to eye clinic and get checked. All the best.
Pecten, perhaps you shouldn't be riding racehorses any more.
Good luck with your dodgy eyes both of you.
Jeez OMR , I see (oops!) why your post was titled 'Oh 'eck!' - your more polite than me in those circumstances, I sincerely hope you've got a good surgeon on your team
I'm guessing that sight out of affected eye is 'problematic' at the moment, so it's good there's a plan, is the other eye still good?
If we get a pair of cutlasses, maybe make MM walk the plank if he doesn't sort out the production tonnages
Thanks for asking - Standard IOLs fitted in both eyes 2016, in general, both greatly improved.
Left eye now is increasingly annoying, feels almost like I have a new, moving cataract (not possible) , or a massive translucent floater which is infuriating as vision quality changes from quite good to appalling in a blink of the eye- can cause whooping headaches
Right eye, now is actually quite good, but had a serious posterior vitreous detachment on Grand National day last year, everything just started going black going from bottom right moving diagonally upwards over a few hours until couldn't see anything out of it. Scary - and I couldn't concentrate on the race!
Luckily, had good surgeon (who practised serious degrees of expectation management pre op), but because the pvr included the macular, post op had to practise 'posturing' for the next 14 days to support the inserted gas bubble while the retina healed - 50 minutes out of every hour, my face had to be parallel to the ground - not something I would wish on anyone
Actually prefer this eye now!
To anyone reading our posts, please, please, if you have any doubts about your vision, or if its changed, go and see someone and get it checked pronto - if I'd left mine for another 48 hours, I would have lost sight in the eye
Sorry, Pecten!!
Pectin, thanks for taking an interest. Unfortunately, this is procedure number 12 including cataract surgery and retinal tears. This one will be a copy of surgery already carried out on left eye, in that the intraocular lens inserted during the cataract procedure, has dislocated from its capsule for the second time, leaving the lens to float freely in the vitreous fluid. This lens will be removed and a new IOL stitched onto the iris, that is assuming that the lens capsule is no longer viable. Not a pleasant or quick fix, sutures if used, stay in place for around 6 months then when settled, a new spectackle prescription will be required to fully improve vision.
Sorry that was long winded but no other way to explain it clearly. I hope all is well now with your vision?
OMR, apologies for butting into your personal condition, but can I ask what your having done to your eye?
If its cataract surgery, you should be fine, its knees of the most common operations in the world with a very high success rate (I needed both of mine done by 50). Have some paracetamol in stock and make sure your patient
If it's more serious, like a retinal detachment, please try and make sure you've got someone who can give you some assistance as the first couple of weeks post op are critical in maintaining the correct head position to allow good healing.
I'm not a quack, just been on the receiving end, so if you've got any questions, I'll try and help from experience
Good luck
OMR
I wish you well with it mate, you seem like a nice honest genuine guy.
Good morning GIT, thanks once again for your support although it's not so much the Covid-19 aspect I'm concerned about, it's how to cope with the after effects of the op that concern me. I know for sure there will be severe discomfort for some time as the eyes settles down, but when you're alone, it's doubly difficult. Still, I've coped before, it's just as one gets older etc etc.
OMR
I am sure you will be fine mate, my daughter tells me that all hospitals have very stringent rules and procedures in place to ensure that covid patients and wards are kept completely separated from anyone coming in for other reasons mate.
Anyway I wish you luck with your operation as well as your investment ;)
Having waited since early March to get me right eye reassembled, I have just been given a slot for surgery on 28th. August. Now I'm booked in, after such a long wait and with Covid still prevelent, me sphincter is twitching already!
