Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / August 2006Ping: Victor
How's your mom's eyesight? SM > How's your mom's eyesight? Thanks for asking Susan. Mom's eyesight is recovering, although very, very slowly. She's been at home for a couple of weeks now and is bored out of her skull, since she's not allowed to do anything even remotely stressful. She can't even go for her morning walks or do her tai-chi! Doctors told her the macular degeneration is healing fine, but that the cataract they removed will take longer to heal. So, she spends most of her time lying face down and listening to the radio.

One week to go? SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

Can you tell me what they did for the macular degeneration ? My mother has it too, and the last time she visited her eye doctor he told her to come back in 2 years, who knows, they'd have found something by then.......

As far as I know, there are two techniques, one where they leave oil in the eye and another one (the one my mom had) where they leave gas in. The recovery is a pain because she has to spend most time face down, to keep the gas bubble towards the back of the eye. Apparently it's somewhat of a routine procedure nowadays. Tweed also had it done, but with oil. Victor >> I missed that post, Victor. Can you tell me what they did for the macular >> degeneration ?

Sending purrs for your Mom's wellbeing. MLB I don't think she'd be up to that, as she has several age related physical problems, and staying face down would probably be impossible, but I'll tell her about it anyway.

Download de gratis SPAMfighter via deze link: http://www.spamfighter.com/lnl There are two types of macular degeneration. One is called "wet" and the other "dry". I don't know which is which, but one kind can be treated with surgery. There's nothing they can do for the other kind. The second kind is what my mother has.

Tweed described her operation in detail a couple of months ago, I think. Search in groups.google.com for the post. SignatureVictor M.

Purrs for your mom to get better more quickly. Susan M Otis and Chester > Thanks for asking Susan. Mom's eyesight is recovering, although > very, very slowly.
