    Sorry forgot to add. Dry eye and scar tissue formation were common with the large incision procedures of the past. Pre 90’s as the procedure was very different. Prevalence has decreased dramatically…it’s not zero as complications can happen. A good surgeon can put the odds even more in your favor. If you are in an area I am familiar with, I may know of good surgeons.

    If you have questions, or if I can help, let me know.

    Trauma, Blue light, UV, and screen time exposure can increase risk of and or accelerate cataract development, so avoiding/minimizing may slow progression.

    I understand what I said was mainstream medical. I’m always open minded and after suffering from vaccine injury look at things very differently, but I am not aware of anything (even anecdotally) that can help once you develop cataracts.

    Not sure where you are located, but in the U.S., surgeons most often perform surgery with a 2.2-2.75 mm incision with topical anesthetic and light sedation.

    Risk of developing droopy lids would only occur if you elect or require some form of block and the physician misses the mark…which is exceedingly rare. Modern cataract surgery is one of the most refined procedures in the world.

    I’m just sharing info, no agenda, just trying to help. If cataracts impact your vision, the downside of tripping…having an accident etc are far more common than an adverse event. Best of luck, if I can help, send me a message.

    Hi, I’ve been in the ophthalmic industry since 1996. There is nothing that can naturally reverse the clouding and hardening of the human crystalline lens (aka cataracts) Surgery with lens replacement is the only option. It is one of the most refined procedures in the world. Personally, I would have no reservations having the procedure done. Just pick a good surgeon, and good implant.

    There are medications in trial, but you are talking years, and who knows what the side effects will be if it is even successful.

    Happy to answer any question.

    Hi Francesca,

    I was recently diagnosed with bilateral retina hemorrhage. Not sure how long or full status of the hemorrhage…I’m now in the midst of watchful waiting.

    I suspect the vaccine, as I have had a myriad of issues since Spring of 2022, my last booster was Feb 20, 2022.
