I gotta rant.
Recently, I noticed that the vision in my right eye was getting "smeary" and would not come into sharp focus at any
distance. It looks like taking a photo through a very dirty lens or filter. The other eye is fine. I called my
ophthalmologist. The work-from-home receptionist tried to "handle" me and offload me to an optometrist. I had to
insist, forcefully, that I had had several complications after cataract surgery, and that I could tell the difference
between the need for new glasses and a medical issue. She finally agreed to give me an appointment--in two months.
Fortunately, my eye doc had a cancellation a week later. After a full eye exam, the problem appears to be exactly what
I thought it was--the membrane behind my lens implant was growing back. So I am looking, in effect, through a veil.
I'd had this same known complication in the other eye some years back, which is how I recognized it. It's not serious,
and it is easily corrected with a brief, painless laser procedure that punches a hole through the offending membrane.
BUT... my eye doc doesn't do that. So now I have to see his cornea specialist colleague. Who can see me in... wait for
it... two months. Then if this second doc concurs with the first, then they will schedule the procedure. Who knows
how long I will have to wait for that.
I don't have any answers to your questions, only my hope that it will all be
resolved positively soon.
