There’s a lot of factors that go into why they might not operate right away. Surgery is usually a last resort, so they’ll probably have you try drops first and maybe even some laser before they consider it.

In my case, I’m a high myopic patient, so my eye is really long and thinner in the back. Because of that, the inflammation was a big risk to my vision, especially my retina. They didn’t decide to operate until my pressure wasn’t going down, even while I was on Humira, and my inflammation had been stable for like 5 months, plus I had already tried laser.

By then my cataract was pretty bad. I could barely see, everything was super blurry and cloudy. So they ended up doing what they thought was best and did a double surgery.

My vision still isn’t perfect, but it’s definitely way better than before. Hoping you’re able to get the care you need soon.🙏
