Victrectomy

Mike, I've never had that procedure, but I've had a couple of extra holes zapped into my eyes via
lazer. (The shape of my eyes were ripe for acute onset glaucoma.) My only complaint was that I had a
headacke for a couple of days, and the extra strong diuretic made carbonated drinks taste like metal
for a couple of days.

Good luck to you. Steph "Mike Moffat" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:vWjob.852$bE4.555@nntp-

I had a vitrectomy in one eye under general, and the other under local. No problem with either. I
had lens implants in both eye a couple of years later, again local. One eye no problems the other I
had a scratched cornea that got infected. Took several months to clear up and heal. No experience
with vitrectomy and lens implant at the same time. If it is an experienced Dr, I would expect a high
probablility of no problems.
