Like most of you I have flickering in my left eye when light hits it. It's been four months. I have macular edema behind the retina. But I've never seen these following issues addressed: I have had swelling under my left eye that is still there after 4 months and the left eye which was operated on for cataract has grown smaller. It seems like the eyelid has lowered so that it partially covers my retina. Has anyone had this problem? If so, please let me know. Thank you.
Ja, die Pupille in einem Auge ist jetzt kleiner und das Augenlid ist dauerhaft tiefer, auch das Lid ist jetzt unter meinen Wimpern sichtbar und das macht beide Augen unterschiedlich aus. Hat jemand eine Lösung?
re: flickering plus other unusual symptoms.
In the next to last sentence I meant to say "pupil," not retina.
I had surgery on left eye in March, right eye April. Am still 9/26/16 fighting the swelling underneath, and styes. Dr. said tear glands stopped up. I am now using antibiotic ointment in both eyes, now down to 3X weekly, along with steaming with wet washcloth and scrubbing eyelids with cetafil cleanser morning and night 7X weekly. It is better, but still not there. As far as your other problems, no. My left eyelid looks lower than I recall, but looking back at old pictures, it was always lower, but not as noticible (I am 73 yrs. young) as now, so some ot that could be that I am tired of all this treatment and am putting too much thought into it. Ask your doctor if the swelling might need antibiotics. Good luck!
Sorry Carol I don't have a solution and apparently docs don't either. If it affects your vision I believe surgery can be done to remove some of the extra skin that flops over the eye. Insurance will pay if it affects vision. I had a friend who had it done. She looks noticeably better.
Haben Sie einen Netzhautspezialisten aufgesucht? Das Flimmern, das Sie sehen, ist Lichtreflexion an Ihrer IOL. Ihr hängendes Augenlid beeinträchtigt das Sehen im Hornhaut- und Linsenfeld. Nach der Operation hatte ich Schwellungen unter beiden Augenlidern. Ein hängendes Augenlid ist eine Komplikation der Operation. Haben Sie trockene Augen?
Ja, es tut mir leid, das sagen zu müssen, aber ich habe tatsächlich trockene Augen
