Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I have had that same surgery on my eyes my pressure was 96, then they operated opened them up and I went into shock and started to throw up, It was all horrible. I wonder if there is a sarc connection. , This is not unusual immediately following cataract surgery. The MD I worked for even had his patients come back in the afternoon of the day of their surgery, because some spike in intraocular pressure is normal. He did that because he did not want them ending up with an acute glaucoma attack. The vomitting you experienced had nothing to do with "shock". It was from the increased eye pressure. That is one of the reasons I tell everyone that if you are having flu symptoms, without fever, and your light sensitive-- and have iritis or uveitis-- call the Ophthalmologist. Those are signs of glaucoma-- and once your sight is robbed by glaucoma- if there is damage to the retina and macula in the back of the eye-- you will lose that vision permanently. Since sarcoidosis causes uveitis, and iritis -- which again, are the 'pumping" stations for controlling the intraocular pressure- any inflammation to those structures- is dangerous in that we are higher risk for glaucoma.
