Deteriorating vision w panuveitis & cataract in right eye.19, studying & am finding it tough to cope.can cataract surgery only be done once?w orzudex?

Can be done more: than once, but in an eye that is already internally inflamed, even doing one cataract surgery has it's risks, as well as post-op cataract recovery time. Must reduce stress levels, and also have a full work up done by your internist to look at other causes of system inflammation and rule that out too. Want the eye as quiet as possible.
