I was treated, very many years ago, at Wills Eye Hospital by (retired since 2021) David Fischer, MD for (now dormant) Uveitis in both eyes. The very first surgical intervention of the right eye (the most effected of the two eyes) facilitated an intraocular implant into the “lens capsule”. A problem occurred in that an opening (or hole) had been surgically made into the original “lens capsule” to permit additional work on retinal damage. The resulting vision provided by these procedures was essentially (for a week or so) edge-to-edge “brightness”. Subsequently, that opening within the lens capsule closed down somewhat and hence resulted in a marked dimming around the edges (bright in the center and shaded all around the edges) of the visual field. Because of this anomaly, the subsequent surgical procedure in the left eye was facilitated wherein the entire lens capsule was removed and the artificial lens was sutured directly into the eye itself.
Albeit somewhat problematic, over the years, I managed my daily activities with respect to the aforementioned problematic right eye surgery. Now, at my advanced age, it appears that my brain is attending (basically and mainly) to vision provided by the (brighter) left eye while occasionally perceiving “visual flashes” of images provided by the somewhat dimmed imagery from the problematic right eye. The resultant vision is distressingly seen as a double image of sorts (as one image provided by the brighter left eye to be interfered, as it were, with angular images provided by the problematic right eye). With respect to my advanced age and the underlying (dormant) Uveitis, can something be done to correct this problem… such as laser treatment to open up the closed-down right eye lens capsule or the complete removal of that eye’s lens capsule and the subsequent suturing (as in the brighter left eye) of the artificial lens implant into the eye itself?

This can not be answered in a post but I would recommend a properly trained ocular immunologist with a good surgical experience. Another nonsurgical option is to visit a low vision specialist for evaluation.
