According to my opthalmologist, my eye is a "worst case scenario"
Advertisements [?]
I had always thought that they could remove the cataract (which was caused by treatment for uveitis/ macular degeneration)..

He has prescribed new drops to try to "untangle" some bloodvessels that have grown into my iris..eew).. Naturally it has not worked, so now I have some additional drops and on Nov 16, he's going to "poke some holes" in my eye to lessen the pressure.. He assures me it won't hurt, but just the thought is creeping me out :scared:..

If that works, he may try to remove the cataract.. I may not see any better afterwards, but it's worth a try, eh??
