eye doctor P.S.
Dr. Lazzara told me something today, as an "if this happens, we can deal with it easily, but you need to know about it."
He said there is about a 1/3 chance of a thin film growing on one of the replacement lenses. If this happens, I should call his office, and they will clean it off with a laser: he said this is quick and easy. I'm at more risk for this than some patients, because I had my cataract surgery relatively young and thus have a more robust immune system. Dr. Lazzara said he saw some signs of this in one eye; I assume that's one of the things he'll be looking at in August.
