Hi, and thanks to all for bearing with me. I finally got up the nerve
to schedule a post-cataract vitrectomy to have the large particle of
lens removed. I have also asked to change primary opthalmologists
because the first one failed to see or diagnose the fragment. I am
waiting to see if the charity health program (yes, I am one of the
millions of uninsured in America) will approve the change request.
My question: I understand IOP can go up when these fragments are
present. Should I ask my new opthalmologist to measure this and
prescribe something? If I don't, is there a higher risk of glaucoma
later?
Thanks for your help. I only have a general knowledge of science, which
isn't much, and I'm "begging for health care" daily in an indifferent
system. Melinda
