I have controlled glaucoma in both eyes ( left and right pressures below
20 ).  I  also developed a cataract in the left eye which was operated on in
October.  Unfortunately the operation has not gone well and I get edge
flashes across and arc from 11.00 to 2.00 as from the edge of a mirror.
Additionally when moving vigorously I lose focus.  The optician has been
unable to fill a spectacle prescription which will work.

The surgeon now want to perform a second cataract operation on my right eye
before going back to rectify the left.  He says and a second opinion I have
sought agrees that the wrong lens was used and it was misplaced in the eye -
he says that myopic eyes are larger than normal eyes?  I have a feeling that
I am being flannelled.

Understandably I do not want to risk losing sight in both eyes should the
operation on the right eye also go wrong and I would prefer the left to work
as best it can before tackling the right.

I would welcome Dr Cohn's opinion - I am in the UK.
