Has anyone had more than one eye surgury in one year? I got Glaucoma and Catarac im only 16.? |
I had 4 in one year. I always had a possiblity of having retinal detachment the lining in the back of my right eye was always thin and my eye is much larger than a normal eye, my left eye is fine. My first one was in june. After that my pressure in my eye was 40 so i had to have glaucoma surgery in september. After that surgery i noticed that i couldnt see at a certain part of my eye and the glaucoma doctor said i was detaching again so he called the doctor that did my surgery before so i had another surgery in september. And i was doing good into like November my retina detached again so he did a laser surgery (which i went blind in the top part of my eye). But im suppose to have another surgery in april to remove the silicon oil from my eye it was in since september. Im still detached he said if i detach more he will have to remove the oil sooner and put more in. This was really tough for me i missed alot of school because of it and im not use to being partly blind. That totally sucks! GOOD LUCK! Oh Sweetheart,my heart goes out to you. Yes,there are plenty of people who go through MANY eye surgeries in one year and it is because of the very reasons you are having to have soo many surgeries. People with Diabetes who do not keep their diabetes under control can go through the same things that you are going through. People with uncontrolled diabetes tend to grow more vessels in the back of their eyes. These vessels are very thin and rupture and cause bleeding in their eyes to the point that RED is all they can see. Sometimes this bleeding will resolve and the blood will absorb just like a bruise but if it doesn't and they continue to bleed they too must have laser. Laser is the only way to stop this bleeding and once the bleeding is under control they have to have the viterous in their eyes substituted with the silicone oil that you refer to having done with your eye. To be having these kinds of surgeries at your age has me wondering what is going on. Did you take an injury to your right eye? It's a good thing that your left eye is OK because believe it or not your left eye is the eye we really need for driving. Think about it. . . . while driving,if you miss something in the perpherial vision of your right eye,you have the whole right side of the car to protect you but if you miss something in the perpherial vision of your left eye there is virtually nothing to protect you. You are going through a tough ordeal that is hard at any age but at your young age it is exceptionally tough and my thoughts and prayers are with you.
