My Mom had cataract surgery today and the doctor wasn't able to remove the whole cataract or put a lens.?

Question

He said she won't be able to see out of that eye without a lens and she is going to have to see another specialist. Her cataract was caused from an injury to the eye years ago. How successful will the next surgery be?? We are very concerned.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Only her doctor can give you a useful answer to this question, it depends on the condition of her eye and why he was unable to complete the surgery.

Answer 2

I've had 9 eye surgeries and Im only 23!

I have had a cataract surgery on my left eye about 5 years ago. My lens decinegrated when they were trying to remove the catract so now i have no lense in my left eye. All I can see out of my left eye is mostly everything, lol! When people say "you cant see without a lens!" (even my doctor said that!) but I can see everything within 40ft of me but it's blurry as h**l!
