Like you, I'm scheduled for cataract surgery (mid-November) in my only functioning eye.? The surgeon and I have discussed this extensively and I'm comfortable that the risk is minimal.? He tells me that if anything goes wrong, he can call in a retinaolgist?to control any damage, but he does not believe this will be necessary.? Go for it!!!
Has anyone on here experienced cataract surgery having only one of your eyes that¡¯s what I am having to make a choice to do. I don¡¯t know how long I can go safely with the cataracts but right now I¡¯m a little scared to go in and have it done. Is anyone have cataracts? I¡¯m scheduled for Thursday really thinking about canceling but I don¡¯t know what to do everyone tells me how safe it is, but I understand there¡¯s always things that can go wrong. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s worth the gamble or not but that¡¯s what I¡¯m facing.

I experenced NAION in my right eye a little over 2 years ago if you drew a line from 10.30 o 4.30 om a clock the left portion is what was affected.? I am doing everything I can to keep it from ever happening again.
But I find solid information on this disease to be scarce. And Optical Neruologisis are few and far between in Georgia, There there are none in Macon. Like the list of possibilities of causes seems endless. And followed with not much is known about the causes.? Like the active ingredient in Viagra. Many clain it is a caues NAION yet other articals say there is not enough data to prove it.? Or like medicines. I use? Metronidazole Gel, 1%. for rosacea,? I read where Metronidazole is a cause of NAION. But is it refering to the gel 1% or the pill?? Or like Nitric Oxside, a suppliment thay claim promotes circulation . It relaxes blood vessels . It can cause NAION yet L Arginine that I thought did the same thing is given a big humbs up.? Or if? you have surgery am I suppose to have it with out anesthesia? Or a filling at the dentist. I guess if you have ED? you are just out of luck.? Where do you go when you have a question like these.? The optomoligists Ive talked to seem to know about as much as I do. Which aint alot.?
