Stitche Left In Eye After Cataract Surgery Posted: 11-05-04 20:03pm
About 6 months ago, my mother had eye
cataract surgery at the age of 75 years of
age. This week, she had a blood vessle
to burst in her eye causing it to become
very red and the area around the eye
became black and blue. She went to a a
doctor that did not do her surgery for the
cataract. He said that there was a
stitch embedded in the eye from the
cataract surgery. He said that he would
remove it, but he suggested that she go
back to the original doctor that did the
surgery. At his suggestion, she went
back. He said not to worry about the
stitch and leave it in there. We want to
know if there is any chance that this
stitch caused the blood vessle to burst
and is it safe to leave this stitch in her
eye?

I'm also planning to undergo an eye
surgery in a couple of months from now but
I have a diabetes so I'm interested in
vision correction in the near future
without the help of glasses or contacts.
Lasik , stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ
Keratomileusis. The LASIK procedure is a
precise and controlled removal of corneal
tissue by a special laser that reshapes
the cornea in order to change its focusing
power. To be considered for this surgery,
a technician must first scan your eyes in
order to create a detailed map. By doing
this, he or she will be able to adjust the
laser to your exact requirements in order
to determine whether or not the surgery is
possible.
