Not to scare anyone, but one of the side effects of cataract surgery is retinal detachment.

I know...personally.

I had a detachment within 30 days of surgery.

Successfully fixed by a wonderful eye surgeon, but there is a distortion spot on my field of vision that they cannot do anything with.

Doctors reviewed my history and attributed the detachments to previous TBI's and a history of boxing as a very young man.

Whatever the history...the fact remains.

I had cataract surgery, then had a retinal detachment.

Draw your own conclusions, but if you have a history of TBI and/or heavy contact sports, even in your youth...make sure your eye doctor is aware of it.

Thanks for your informative comment and will tell others about it but I don’t believe this would pertain to me.
