Hello, I recently had cataract surgery, but is it normal for dry eyes to persist after the procedure? I have had severe dry eyes in the past.. My eyes continue to feel stinging and uncomfortable. Just like usual. Also, there is a significant difference in vision between both eyes; will this cause any problems if it remains as is?

Hello, this is S&U Eye Clinic. After cataract surgery, transient dry eye symptoms may worsen. It is important to pay extra attention to managing dryness, and in addition to the prescribed artificial tears, treatments such as warm compresses and IPL laser therapy may also be beneficial. If you feel that there is a significant difference in vision between your eyes after cataract surgery, we recommend visiting an ophthalmologist for a thorough examination. Thank you.

What are the reasons for increased floaters after cataract surgery?

Hello, this is S&U Eye Clinic. Cataract surgery does not worsen floaters. However, if your vision was previously hazy or cloudy due to cataracts, it is possible that you may feel floaters more noticeably now that your vision has cleared post-surgery. It might also be worthwhile to consider that floaters could be the result of retinal conditions, so we suggest periodic visits to an ophthalmologist for regular check-ups. Thank you.

Hello, I am in my late 40s. I want to know if it can be resolved since there is a significant difference in vision between my eyes. The right eye sees reasonably well, but the left eye appears completely cloudy.

Hello, this is S&U Eye Clinic. We first need to ascertain whether the symptoms you mentioned in your left eye could be related to dry eye or conditions such as cataracts. If there is a condition present, treatment and surgery may be necessary, and treatment can indeed be administered to one eye only. If discomfort persists, we recommend visiting an ophthalmologist for an examination. Thank you.

Hello, I had left cataract and retinal surgery, but after the surgery, objects appear distorted. The hospital says the surgery went well but that there's nothing more that can be done. Are there any other options?

Hello. In cases of retinal disease, objects may appear distorted. We kindly ask for your understanding as it is difficult to provide guidance online without knowing your eye condition accurately. We recommend you visit the ophthalmology clinic where you received treatment to undergo further examinations for other potential conditions. Thank you.

Hello. I have been advised by my doctor that I am starting to develop cataracts. How much would the cataract surgery cost? Is it very expensive? Will my vision improve after the cataract surgery? I also suffer from severe dryness; will this improve as well? I would appreciate your detailed response.

Hello. This is S&U Ophthalmology. The cost of cataract surgery can vary depending on the characteristics of the lens you choose. For a monofocal lens, the cost starts at 250,000 won per eye, while for a multifocal lens, it begins at 1,500,000 won per eye. Undergoing cataract surgery can improve symptoms such as blurred vision or discomfort due to cataracts. Dryness may temporarily occur after the surgery and should be managed separately from the cataract procedure. It can be alleviated with artificial tears, eye drops, warm compresses, and IPL laser treatment. For more detailed information, please contact our clinic. Thank you. ^^

Even after the surgery, I still can’t see well, so I have to wear glasses just to see somewhat clearly.
