White Spot After Eye Surgery : Diagnosis, Treatment Options & Consultation
3 months ago
After my eye operation, I have a white spot that has increased, and my vision has not fully returned. I want to know whether this problem is related to the cornea or retina, if a cornea transplant or lens placement is required, whether there are surgical or cosmetic solutions, and where and when I should come for proper evaluation and treatment.

Yes, the cornea can change after surgery, and only a detailed eye examination can confirm the exact cause of your problem. During the check-up, the doctor will assess whether the cornea is damaged and whether the retina is involved. This evaluation will determine if a cornea transplant is required or if the condition can be managed in another way.
The white layer or white spot you are noticing is usually not related to cataract, and if it has increased after surgery, it definitely needs expert assessment. If vision (light perception) returns fully, the outcome is generally good. If it does not, the condition may persist, but treatment options are still available.
In some cases, doctors can place a permanent artificial lens to manage vision issues. There are also surgical procedures to correct eye power and, in certain situations, medical tattooing eye coloring is used to permanently cover the white spot for cosmetic and functional improvement. These procedures are done only by specialist doctors.
Since you do not have insurance, it is advised that you come to Delhi for evaluation. You can visit one of the two hospitals where Dr. Varun Gogia is available. A visit on Monday is suitable for a detailed check-up. If surgery is required, it will be planned after evaluation the complete process usually takes around one month, and surgery is not done immediately on the first visit.
