Dear Edna51, It is difficult to comment on why a doctor stated that you will not be able to wear a contact lens.  I would recommend that you ask your eyeMD further questions. One of the unknown issues is what type of vision will return following the retinal procedures that you have had. Dr. Feldman Sandy T. Feldman, M.D., M.S. ClearView Eye and Laser Medical Center San Diego, California

Actually, I thought that you have better vision than I would have expected after having all these problems, especially traumatic mydriasis, retinal detachment, extreme glaucoma, silicone eye and several years of multiple surgeries.  You don't see well because your retinal nerve fibers, photoreceptors, and optic nerve are damaged to some degree and you probably have some macular pucker and maybe even chronic macular...

No MD can tell exactly what will happen in the future. All we can say is what usually happens. Usually an eye with your problems does not make a full recovery to normal vision. You can hope. You can pray. time will tell. Discuss with your surgeons JCH MD

Whats up Michael J Kutryb and Thank you for your answer. My left eye does not feel like something is in it no more it stoped like 4 days ago. Is it true that dry eye symptoms come and go? Thanks for your help.

Last week I pulled out a full set of eyelashes on my eye with a eyelash curler. Will my eyelashes grow back soon?When?

Thank you for taking the time to answer our post, it feels like there is no answer for our problem, it feels good to know someone cares enough to read and answer our post, someone is listening, hope....  Is there someone you can recommend in the Houston area?  Unfortunately we don't qualify for Medicaid, and this being a pre-existing condition I can't insure her, can't lose...
