Ophthalmologist Questions Cataract Surgery

Even after my cataract surgery, I have hazy vision. Why?

I underwent cataract surgery almost 2 weeks ago. However, my vision is still quite hazy. What could be the reason for this?

There are many reasons that your vision is still blurry. See an ophthalmologist.
You might have some residual corneal edema, continue your drops.
Recovery will take a few weeks. Later, check for refractive errors that will require glasses to sharpen your vision.
There are several reasons to have hazy vision after cataract surgery. For instance: the need for post-operative refraction (glasses), post-operative edema (swelling), an opacification of the posterior capsule (often called a secondary cataract), etc. All these possibilities can be diagnosed and treated by your EyeMD ophthalmologist surgeon.

arrange for an evaluation.
