I had my cataracts done over the summer by the NHS. Eyesight is great, no need now for glasses. The one issue has been increased eye pressure which has now been controlled by drops. No symptoms I am aware of but they want to eliminate glaucoma.
Hopefully it turns out that I simply ( and temporarily) reacted to the routine steroid drops following surgery. It’s a known risk. Unfortunately they won’t just let me stop the current drops and retest me. Instead they want to check me again in six months. I suspect this timescale is not clinically necessary but that it’s a matter of waiting lists.
