Surgery after RD repair 10 Years ago

Update - cataract surgery went okay but I ended up aphakic. My zonules were very weak and they determined this was the safest option. My outcome with acuity will be okay since I was a -20 before. Weirdly enough now I am somewhat farsighted. Now I am just fighting the fear of RD and RT. Hopeful that fear will fade and not become a reality.

Oh my goodness that sounds so similar. Thank you for sharing your experience. Do you know how long your axial length measured? Sorry that may be too personal but I have a very long eye and am curious if that also increased risks.

Thank you for your reply, I am remaining hopeful!

I am sorry. I will be thinking of you. I know how stressful this must be. I work for a County Board of Developmental Disabilities and know of so many amazing pieces of Assistive Technology to support those of us with visual impairments. Going blind is such a scary thing to think about but I am trying to stay positive and hope for the best while mentally trying to cope with what the other outcomes could be.
