Vision still very blurry after cataract w
Is this normal? I had cataract surgery three days ago, and everything I read suggests that the vast majority of people are able to see well and function almost immediately after surgery. I’m not expecting 20/20 vision, or even to not need glasses, but I’m not even at 20/40 vision in that eye. And, there’s just enough sight in my operated eye that, uncovered, it distracts from my better eye when I drive. Previously my brain just ignored that eye. Has this happened to anyone else? Have you had surgery and then just been very blurry for days after?
I have/had no other eye issues in my operated eye except a very bad cataract. I’ve only been to one follow up where the doctor was ok was the healing, but I’m terrified. Have you ever experienced a surgery where it took longer than normal to heal? And, for all the people who will say everyone heals differently, I do know that. Im hoping to hear from at least one person who can tell me that they’ve been through something similar. I’m real scared and afraid it won’t improve.
I will eventually need cataract surgery on my good eye, and I was going to get it in a couple of weeks, but now I’m tempted to cancel. I’m worried that I’ll become effectively blind.
Tell me about it if you’ve had this experience.
