hello again dr prince..
im finally done with the other eye (right) just yesterday.. but today i feel little uneasy because it feels like the left eye is not as clear as the right, i feel just a bit smoky on the left (operated a week ago).. i feel they are not balanced.. they did a 'nerve' test with my left eye today.. (looking thru a scope then you'll see flying red sparks) then my doctor simply said, its alright, its jus not yet stable. wait for 3 weeks he said.. WHY IS THAT DOC??? thanks.

Patients need to be patient! Thats all --- sounds like you are going to get a great result and any imbalance you now experience will dissipate shortly. Just take the drops as prescribed and use the eyes and give it some time. Best of luck!

No, this surgeon ... ( 3 weeks ago by jblandray)

No, this surgeon does know what he's doing, it's you that doesn't. What you're seeing at 0.55s is capsulorhexis, where the anterior part of the capsule (which supports the lens) is cut to allow access to the opacified lens.The phacoemulsifier then breaks down the lens using the "divide & conquer" method,and the old lens is then removed.The rest of the anterior capsule is then removed.The new lens is then injected into the capsule where it unfolds. The incision site is self-healing,not stitches.

Hello Doc,
I had this surgery 2 weeks ago and had done well until my 2 yr old hit me in the eye. My surgeon says that everything is ok, but that I must continue taking the prednisone drops 4x day for another 4 weeks! Problem is the drops are really making me angry and I go into a type of rage, can't s
leep much. I feel better when I stop taking them, but was told I must continue. I'm a police officer, so this is not good situation. Any suggestions? Have you encountered this?

Dontinue the ... ( 2 weeks ago by richardbprince)

Dontinue the steroid eye drops as prescribed by your doctor and you'll be fine. Use "digital compression" by pressing your index finger against the corner of your eye where your nose is after instillation of the drop to PREVENT it from going into the back of your throat and being absorbed; this may eliminate any side effects from the steroids but usually there is almost NO systemic absorption of the steroid and therefore anger/rage from it is very unusual. Just have a glass of wine.

Thank you will do. ... ( 2 weeks ago by sj702)

Thank you will do.
I found out from my elderly dad that when he was in his 30's he had to take predisone drops and it did the same thing to him. Maybe a genetic chemical sensitive of some sort? Thanks for the information about preventing drop from absorbing so much.
