Following eye surgery for a PVD, I then succumbed to a rapid growth of a cataract. I'd been briefed that this happens, but had hoped that I would miss the joys of the second procedure.
I had a nuclear cataract.
Some of the effects were bizarre. Looking at my washing line through the bug screen showed two lines with Z shaped connections every couple of feet along the lines. It seems that this was caused by multi-lensing, the brain taking several shots at the same detail...using different points round the obstruction.
Usually, a good surgeon will not operate until you really need the procedure, but if it was stopping you working professionally, I would think that would alter the rules. Mind you, I had some idea that the old lens comes out more easily when the cataract is 'mature', but I don't have any modern data on that point.
