"Cataract operation on left eye"

About: Axminster Community Hospital

The cataract operation seemed to go well with no problems and the clarity of vision seemed very good but I still need slight correction for distance, which is acceptable, I have since found several problems, objects look bigger through my corrected left eye, under street lights or watching tv in a darkened room I have a ring of light around the lense, if facing straight ahead I turn my eyes to the left I can see two people approaching which merge into one as they get closer as of coarse there is only one and I seem to suffer from a degree of blindness when sunlight enters my eye from the left. The cataract operation was carried out in the spring of 2016 I have not queried this before as I have been very busy caring for my partner. John
