Medical Forum / General / Vision / January 2006Vitrectomy and lupus
Most of you have followed the "cataract saga" here and can read it below. My retinal surgeon wants to do a vitrectomy to remove the piece of old cataract. He says it may help the pupil constrict normally, but there are no guarantees. I already had a terrible time with what was supposedly a routine cataract removal. I have lupus, and my question is: how many weeks of recovery am I going to need after vitrectomy - and by recovery, I mean a point at which I can read small print again, which I need to do for my job? Melinda I would think unless something else is going on, you should be able to read within a few days, although you probably will need glasses to see the small print. w.stacy, o.d. >Most of you have followed the "cataract saga" here and can read it >below.

Grap a book/magazine off the rack and try on a few pairs until you find one that works - and fits. > Most of you have followed the "cataract saga" here and can read it > below.
