Yes I have had successful cataract surgery both eyes. I hadsome blurriness due to edema and a bleed in one of my eyes. I also have dry eye diagnosis and this can cause blurriness. My Dr. perscribed a salt solution for the edema and we just had to wait for the blood to absorb. All this cleared and I have 20/20 vision in both eyes. Do you see your Dr. for a recheck soon. If not call and tell them your symptoms and they can explain it to you or see you in the office.

I hope you've also contacted your doctor's office, since they know all the details of the procedure they performed, as well as the condition of your eyes. HTH.

I agree with @Krimpette, you should call your Dr. since he knows your particular case, everyone is different.

I also had cataract surgery quite a few years ago, both eyes, and the day of surgery it felt like I had a tiny grain of sand in my eye, which was gone by the next day.

I had no blurriness at all the day after surgery, but my eyes were much more sensitive to light.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

i had cateract surg many years ago when i was in my 50's.

am doing fine. i did very blurred vision and had to have a follow up lazer surgery to correct that blurred vision. it is simple procedure,you sit in a chair and a lazer beam is focused on eye and cuts away the remaining problem area. had to have that done on both eyes. it was a 15 min procedure. i had a medical eye doctor do it, he is an MD and opthomologist. he is a brillant physician. he has dual degrees.

do hope all will settle down. I had all my eye problems back in the early 2000's. it takes time for all to settle down.

An Ophthalmologist IS an MD. First, he is an MD - then he chooses a Specialty. He chose Ophthalmology. ALL specialists are general doctors first. Then, they decide if they want to be a family medicine doctor OR go into a specialty.

An Ophthalmologist can write a Rx for anything - antibiotic, Valium, cough syrup, etc....He is an MD first and foremost.

@Sooner.....had mine done a very long time ago. Don't remember if I had floaters or not.....but did have flashing white lights. That was due to glaucoma.... which I do have and take drops to control that. Yes, I did have the blurred vision, but with time and drops that soon quit. There were a couple of times when I felt like I had something in my eyes.....each one..... They were stitches that he snipped off when I went in to have it checked out. A lot of improvements have been made to this kind of surgery.....and is much easier on the patient.

@crazered You should contact the doctor that did the surgery as soon as possible.. Your vision after the surgery should be as good as new. My vision was fine after I had the surgery last JAN and FEB.. Contact your doctors ASAP, sounds like the lens is not positioned or something is wrong with it.... Good luck and I hope your vision gets back to normal....
