Subject: Eye surgery and night driving



East central Iowa

When I had cataract surgery on one eye they installed a lens that works similar to my original or sort of like lasik.  But then as I mentioned I had trouble at night.  My local ophthalmologist said just wait but after 6 months I quit waiting.

A family friend said what you have "is referred to as Posterior Capsular Opacity (PCO).   After cataract surgery the posterior capsule is left in tact & polished clean.   After time an opacity may develop & cloud vision.. a laser can open that so the light can once again get through to restore vision. "

That's when I went back to FOX eye in Cedar Rapids and had the procedure which I don't think took 5 minutes.  After that no more problems.
