My Husband had cateract surgery 7 years ago that went perfectly.
This morning He had the same surgery on the second eye. It did not go well. When they were ready to suction out the clouded lens, it fell into the back of the eye and it temporarily blinded him.
The vision is better since coming home but still very poor.
Next week He will have to have a more invasive eye surgery in the Hospital to correct the problem.
Has anyone every heard of this happening before? We are very comfortable with these Drs. But distressed at the moment.
He has seen this same group and the same Dr. for seven years.
I would be greatful for any input on this situation. Thanking you in advance for your responses.
