Oedema Back of Eye After Cataract Surgery - Please Help!

Posted by PamB (New Zealand) on 04/12/2024

I had poor cataract surgery done which I had to pay for. Left me with Oedema at back of the eye. They are going to "try this or that" to see if they can get rid of it. Does anyone know of a way I can do something, PLEASE!

I am 84 this year and Carer for my husband, I also have cancer and don't need another problem to deal with

PamB How Are You,

I pray someone is researching on your post subject even now. I too was wanting to see their thoughts. In the mean while I will share with you what I learned from helping my uncle and my own eye experiences to :

  1. Cut further down on any kind of sugar natural and fake, especially in candy and gum. They slow down the healing process.

My uncle was diabetic, he had eye surgery and sometime later he left out of the house seeing and about a block before he got home he went suddenly completely blind. The next day he went back to the ENT, they said the blood had dried up in the back of his eyes. The good news is that they cleaned the back of his eyes and his sight was restored. It was not as clear as he wanted; however, once again he could come and go as he pleased.

He was also dealing with dry mouth and because of that he liked to chew gum. He loved Juices because they helped when his blood sugar dropped. He needed these things but still they slowed down the healing process.

  1. Avoid extra blood thinners in vitamins and supplements, sometimes they help one thing and mess with another. I know this because I was taking some supplements for my circulation and pain, then added something for my memory, which was also a blood thinner that soon left me with cloudy vision.

I noticed that whenever I cut down on sugars and extra blood thinners for a couple of weeks my vision is clearer.

Praying for you,

HisJewel

I would mix activated charcoal and olive oil, apply that all around my eyes at night and sleep with an eye mask. A super simple eye mask can just be a piece of clean, soft, old t-shirt tied like a blindfold. Not too tight - don't want to apply pressure to the eye - but just to cover the charcoal goop.

I don't worry about the messiness of natural remedies, particularly when they're needed, but a lot of people do. It cleans up so easily and worry is ANTI-healthy so I'm just not going to do it. And, to be honest, I make a lot LESS mess when I'm not worried about it. Charcoal, ClO2, diatomaceous earth, DMSO, cayenne and even urine - these are things that can stop a heart attack, attract, trap or even destroy killer bacteria, mold, viruses and toxins, save organs, a limb, a life and reverse the effects of stroke! Who cares if it makes a mess? Not me...

Anyway, I'd use charcoal for 2 reasons - it can resolve most things all by itself AND, where there's swelling, there is almost certainly going to be inflammation or infection and it will eliminate that. Oh, and 3, it just instantly feels better and when one feels better, the body doesn't have to navigate around you so much to do what needs doing. And charcoal is great because anything in the body that the body doesn't want, it can simply push it out and into the charcoal.
