OK, latest ophtho consult:
• Haziness due less to keratic infiltrates than posterior capsule opacity — again, due to aggressive ultrasound phacoemulsification necessary for the dense cataract. Underwent YAG laser capsulotomy which should resolve the tissue issue; a couple of weird floaters appeared in the wake of same — annoying little zippets, as a friend who underwent the same procedure recently has labeled them.
But it sure did clear up the haziness. Everything seems outrageously bright and clear ... don't have to go downtown to see the bright lights.
(Strangely, the sowbug-sized vitreous floater which has been my constant companion for a dozen years seems to have taken a holiday in the wake of the laser treatment. We shall see.)
• Discomfort/pain at incision site due to regenerating corneal nerves; this too should resolve with time.
• If all goes according to Hoyle, the cataract surgery and IOL replacement in the right eye should go forward in a couple weeks.
