Hello Doctor, I am from Jaipur, Rajasthan and 30 years old. 8 years ago I was disorganized with CRVO disorder. I was asked to leave the condition as it is and to keep a check over the swelling occurred around it. Over regular checkup I was told that I have swelling in my right eye as well and steroid (prednisolone) was prescribed to control the inner inflammation. Using steroid over a period of time helped developing cataract in my right eye. Now doctor says my left eye actual had CRAO instead of CRVO and it cannot be cured and as far as my right eye is concerned it has chronic uveitis along with cataract. The root cause for uveitis is TB. I'm taking prednisolone eyedrop+ethambutol 1200 mg+rifampicin 600 mg+pyrazinamide 750 mg as daily dose since 1 and half month which I guess are working my overall vision. I see no improvement in my eyes except a little improvement in uveitis. Doctors are not giving a specific time for the cataract surgery and I am facing challenges to perform my day to day activities. Request you to please review and help me.

cataract progression will affect ur vision and daily activities. In your condition with bilateral vascular occlusion and uveitis increases risk of worsening of central retinal or macular edema and increased inflammation following even a diligent and perfectly done cataract surgery. Once the eye quietens and ur treating doctor feels the risk of complications is least, they will suggest surgery with due precautions. you will have to discuss with ur doctor the pros and cons of timing ur cataract surgery.

hello cataract surgery will be performed only when uveitis heals...we wait for 6 months afetr uveitis heals and then operate cataract so in your case you have to wait for minimum 9 months or more for cataract surgery
