There is a risk of corneal edema after cataract surgery. It is impossible to have a 100% success rate for any operation. If the corneal edema is too long and drugs are not effective, it is best to perform a corneal transplant.

Answer 2

I have fuchs dystrophy and i am having catatct surgery. Is that a bad idea?

Comments

It depends, listen to you Dr. since he's going to evaluate your condition.

I had cataract surgery with fuchs dystrophy. Vision was blurry, worse than before the surgery. After many months of treatment with steroid drops and sodium chloride solution, there was no improvement. Finally went with cornea transplant which ultimately cleared everything up and vision in that eye is now better than before the cataract surgery.
