Weak eye is not a medical diagnosis. See an ophthalmologist.

This case brings up some challenging issues. The ability for a surgeon to safety remove a very dense cataract is continuously evolving with improvements in instrumentation and surgical technique. Cataracts that were considered “too risky” to be removed” by any method years ago are currently routinely removed by extra capsular techniques. The best method and approach is finally determined by the experience and skill of the surgeon, not merely what the cataract looked like preoperatively. Even in the best of hands, complications can occur. If a surgeon’s complication rate of your problem is one in ten thousand, unfortunately for you it is 100%. All that said, your questions are best resolved by personally being evaluated by one or more ophthalmologists with a solid practice and experience in dealing with this type of cataract, not inquiring on the internet about machine settings, as each doctor’s skills vary. Unfortunately, what happened in this eye cannot be undone. However, careful review of your exam records and especially the dictated operative report ( op note) would prove beneficial in planing the surgery of your other eye if had not yet been done. If you did successfully undergo removal of the fragments by a competant retina vitreous surgeon and you still have issues, they should be addressed by that doctor and or you should seek another independent retinovitreous opinion. You may need a change in your current treatment regimen. Best wishes for your improvement.
