My mom underwent a cataract surgery for
both eyes around 4 months ago. The
operation was within a matter of 21 days
of both eyes. However after 45 days rest,
her first operated eye (right eye) got red
and watery. She consulted the doctor who
gave her eye drops and meds to be put for
14 days. When the drops and meds were
applied, the redness disappeared but once
the course was over it started to appear
again. The doctor then sent us to a
retina specialist for opinion. The
specialist said that everyting seems to be
normal but there is some low grade
infection in the eye. He again said to
put drops and gave a tapering dose of
fortipred tablets for 21 days. Again
duringthe course, the redness disappeared.
However now once again it has surfaced.
We visited the doctor today, who now
recommends a culture test and putting of
some injection in the eye. Could please
someone please tell me what this problem
is? Its remedies? And also is it a
common problem. The vision is perfectly
normal, the main problem is redness and
water coming from the eyes. Your help
would be greatly appreciated.

Please tell me your okey! I had a serious
infection in my left eye after a cataract
surgery. I too had to see a retina doctor
and he had to put a ball of three
different antibotics in it to save my eye.
Then after that treatment I had to get my
retina attached and after that a corneal
transplant. I have had 7 different
operations and I still can't see out of
it.My vision is distorted. I too had
glaucoma because of the infection and they
had to do laser surgery to releave the
pressure and it did help. Please give me
a up date I haven't heard of anyone else
who has gone threw as much as I have.
Please don't give up hope. Rena
