Patient discussion about IOL

Q. I had cataract surgery with iol implant, and ever since I have awful light sensitivity. Any ideas? I can't go into a "super store" without my sunglasses. My eyes ache at the end of the day. My doctor says "I don't know!"

A. May sound a bit silly question, but have you tried to consult your ophthalmologist (eye doctor, e.g. the one that performed the operation) about it? Cataract surgery, although considered very successful, isn't problem-free. Primary physician may not have the necessary specialization to deal with these subjects.

After a period of successful cataract surgery posterior capsule opacification(PCO) is one of the most vision disturbing problem.1 Neodymium- yttrium-aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy is the best choice for treatment of PCO in pseudophakic eyes for many years.2 Although it seems to be safe but also it has sight-threatening complications like intraocular pressure (IOP) increase, corneal injury, intraocular lens (IOL) pittings, IOL dislocation, anterior vitreous prolapse, vitritis, pupil blockage, cystoid macular oedema, retinal hemorrhage and retinal detachment.
