Please, my fiance has been on glasses for a while now owing to the fact that he has myopia and he was encouraged that it will control it and alongside, he was given ofloxacin eye drop which i know its antibacterial, what can he do to control it and the right eye drop to use because i realized that the use of atropine can be dangerous. Thanks.

iyimiolami:
Thanks for the response, he's not yet using atropine, he's at the moment using ofloxacin which is not working effectively. Where can a surgery be performed in Nigeria? Thanks

Is it advisable to do cataract operation on a diabetic 80yr old.

My mums optician thinks not, apparently it won't heal. I find this difficult to believe, don't know if it's my mum that doesn't want the surgery hence she is making storied up.

drsteroid:
Its very possible! The sugar level must be controlled with potent anti-diabetic drugs and the Patient must be placed under close observation before the surgery.

Good morning. Thank u for existing and may God reward u for ur selfless help here.
I wanna find out, if cataract makes the eye lenses go opaque and the cataract is removed via surgery, would normal sight be restored once more?

drsteroid:
Its very possible! The sugar level must be controlled with potent anti-diabetic drugs and the Patient must be placed under close observation before the surgery.
Increased blood sugar prevents or delay wound healing,hence proper care must be taken by bringing down the sugar level to a stable condition before the surgery.I have done cataract surgery for a lot of diabetic patients with 100 percent success rate.Professionalism is also a determining factor on the prognosis.Try get a good Ophthalmologist for mama..A lovey day ahead

Tnk u so much Bro.

My biggest issue is my mum's mentality. She is 80 and can be very stubborn.

There is this hospital in edo state called ogan??
My mum won't go anywhere but there.

Pls can u recommend a place in lagos that she can go have it done. I don't want her to go blind and it's slowly getting there.

drsteroid:
you have to sit her down and tell her the reason she needs to go for the surgery,and try to lett her know there won't be any problem,and she will see clearly after the surgery.You can send me an e-mail for more

Goodmorning, pls is it normal for vision to be a little blurry immediately after catarct operation untill healing is restored? My uncle had the surgery on Thursday and they said it was successful but his vision is still quite blurry‎. What's the average time frame for healing?

Peddylove:

drsteroid:
Good day bro, from your case history,your case is likely to be traumatic cataract or Cornea opacity associated with the injury which affected your Right eye. Your failure to seek Medical help immediately it happened aggravated the whole issue.
I willl advice you to visit the nearest Eye Clinic or Government Hospital close to you for a comprehensive Eye test,for proper diagnosis and management.
I also want you to advice your Mum to discontinue the eyedrops she has been using,and see an Eye Doctor.
Will be glad to hear from you after you and your Mum's visit to the Eye Clinic.
Thanks
