Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 , It's not unusual for the eye pressure to go up after the surgery due to the trauma to the eye. I'm glad you did as instructed, as this is the glaucoma I tell everyone about. (Ok, the subject that is most important to me--as eyes can't get transplants) The fluid you're talking about was the fluid they use to replace the vitreous fluid (we all lose that when we have cataract surgery, and the body eventually makes more to replace it.) It's like a normal saline for the inside of the eye. Anyway, I am glad that you're back in shape today and do give yourself a bit of a break-- so that your body can heal-- remember even the small stuff is big for our screwed up bodies.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hi guys.. I had a little big problem with my eye surgery yesterday...For some reason I ended up with a high glucomic pressure after the surgery, I got home laid down and took a nap, when I woke up I had the worse pressure I've ever experienced in my life.. OMG, I called the doctor like instructed, and was told to head back to Vanderbilt, my mom had to drive me which took a lot longer than it would have taken if I had been able to drive.. anyway, once arrived she my pressure was 40 which evidently was too high..she did a small incision and actually expressed or squezed the extra fluid from behind my incision, and fluid did gush.. it scarred me a bit to actually see the fluid gushing over my eye, but it was instant relief...I had to go back this morning and my pressure was back to normal, I'm not seeing the best in the world, but at least I'm not in that horrid type of pain.. I was able to ressume my daily plans of living today, as I did go to my exercises in the pool at Vanderbilt while I was there.. Hope all of you are doing well.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Thanks Tracie, that's what they told me.. and they also said the pressure wasn't due to glucoma but due to the surgery itself.. Gosh, it gave me a scare since I didn't have not the first problem with my first eye..and I've never ever experienced an headache like that.. I thought my head was going to explode before we got there.. I had photosensitivity like you wouldn't believe, and I kept thinking of you poor people that live with this daily.. Forunately, or not my Neurosarc is sp;inal cord related and not in the brain as of yet that we know.. I've got new granuloma's under the skin on top of my head and they are sore, very sore to touch... but nothing inside the brain... I just really wanted to touch base with you guys and say thanks for your careing responses!! I love you guys and you are a huge part of my family.. -- Re: Cataract Surgery ,It's not unusual for the eye pressure to go up after the surgery due to the trauma to the eye.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Mike, I hope everything continues to go well. I guess I drew the long straw on cataract surgery--never had any bruising, swelling, pain or redness. I never felt the local because I had "conscious sedation," IV Demerol & Versed. That plus listening to Elvis on headphones made the whole experience a piece of cake. The hospital here provides a portable CD player & a selection of music, or we can bring our own music. If you have to go in for anything scary or uncomfortable, ask about music therapy. There are studies documenting patient anxiety & pain. Ramblin' Rose Moderator Reply-To: Neurosarcoidosis To: Neurosarcoidosis Subject: Cataract SurgeryDate: Fri, 06 Apr 2007 18:13:09 -0000 Well folks,I have had my cataract surgery (today is Good Friday - surgery wasMonday past @ 6:45 AM - oh joy). The Surgeon who did my surgery hadcommented (post operative exam 24 hrs after surgery) had commentedthat my eye did not appear to have much inflammation, considering myhistory of Sarcoidosis. I have taken this comment of his as a goodomen (if there is such a thing). I have been diligent about applyingthe eye drops (all 3) as prescribed @ the prescribed schedule, so I amhoping my 'bionic eye' will last longer\better than I . So far, I feelmoderately impressed - I can actually see that microscopic printing onfood labels, and I still have the shiner then surgeon left just belowthe eye (where the local anesthetic was injected). Not to gross anyoneout unduly...having been treated for dwarfism as a child (growthhormane shots 3 times weekly for first fifteen years of my life), plusall the blood work for my NeuroSarcoid, I thought I was accustomed toneedles...no, not this time. Nothing beats getting stuck in the eyewith a needle. Hope everyone is managing well......happy easter everyone :)mike Download Messenger. Join the i’m Initiative. Help make a difference today.
