[tri-med] Re: Question about post op cataract surgery and lens ?

Penny:

Bloodshot seems normal to me after what his eye has been through.
Krissy's was incredibly bloodshot after her corneal transplant.

Hi Everyone :o)
Devon's eye is all blood shot today. It's probably perfectly
normal because after all, his eye has had a lot done to it right?
I guess I just need to hear someone tell me it's normal for it to
be bloodshot? We've been religious about putting the 3 different
drops in at breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtime. He's not
bothering it. When the patch is off, he has his mitts on and one
of us watching him at all times and at times like now, we have
the mitts off and the patch on taped really well. Kind of a test
to see if we can leave the mitts off tonight since he was really
aware of them last night and one of the things that kept him
awake.

The other question is more out of curiosity. The Alcon rep gave
us a card with the intraocular lens implant info on it. Devon's
is a Acrysof Natural IOL with a blue UV light filter. I read
about it and it sounds perfect for him. The power of the lens is
30.0. Is that really strong or weak or somewhere in the middle? I
don't question whether it's the proper lens.I trust that they put
the one in that best suited all of Devon's anomalies.I'm just
curious if it's a really strong one or what?

Thanks in advanced.
