Suggest Treatment For Squint And Cataract In Eye
On attending the Eye Clinic at my local hospital, the Opthalmic specialist forwarded me to the Consultant immediately and I had a scan of my left eye. (Had op for squint when four years of age - now 64 yrs). I had a bad accident with this eye 18 months ago and sight has become blurred, sometimes double vision and when driving, on occasions. the road moves to the right. This verified what I thought. A right sided squint - eye going out. They also found I have a cataract right in the middle of the vision where the light goes through and the membrane is shrivelled. I was informed that a membrane op is difficult and would be 50/50 whether I would see again. As my eye and surround aches constantly I would like to ask if a squint op would help plus take the cataract out, or if my vision would improve with one op. ? op at all, I would like your views on this. Many thanks.

you have said there is exophoria. this is Tobe tested and test for binocularity is to be done. it may be you have already developed amblyopia. in that case you should under go cataract surgery first. vision to be tested separately and fixation is binocular or uni-ocular is Tobe seen.
