Many people expect to have sharp vision right after cataract surgery. However, in some cases, it can remain blurry or fluctuate even after a successful surgery.
Even though having dry eyes is a frequent cause, there is another less-known condition that may affect a patient’s quality of vision: epithelial basement membrane dystrophy (EBMD), a cornea alteration that may remain unnoticed in routine checkups.
Some of its symptoms may include:
✔️ Changing of vision through a day.
✔️ Doubled or shadowy images.
✔️ Increased light sensitivity, especially during the night.
✔️ Difficulty to have completely sharp vision.
Early detection of these alterations is essential since they can affect both the surgery plans and the subsequent results. Do not hesitate to have a consultation!
