Yup, I had minor cataracts with dry eye syndrome along with the vicous humor gel detached in both eyes. The gel in the eyes now hovers in front of the retina making more shadows of the floaters normaly found in the gel.

Also the shrunken gel can bump the retina if it too close and cause a detachment of the retina itself. When it bumps one can can see the result in the dark as a flash of light.
Some strenous occupations like police work in the field call for a precautionary laser welding of the retina even though the retina are not yet detached.

With magnification and polarized sun glasses I can see with satisfactory results.


It is interesting that everyone runs the same chance of having the gel in thier eyes dry out and come away from the back of the eye.
It is equal to your age.

If you are 50 your odds are 50-50. IF you are 100 its 100%.

The only thing odd for me was that my eye gel detached in both eyes only weeks apart.
