I had cataract surgery a week ago and am, in general, very pleased with the outcome. My vision in that eye is 20/20 with correction. However I notice that whenever I look at something yellow it appears as though it is mottled white and yellow. I have also noticed at times a lighter area (almost as though covered by a very light film) in the center of my visual field. This effect, however, is not always noticeable. It depends on what I am looking at and is mostly noticeable when I am out of doors looking down. I had an exam by the ophthamologist who did my surgery today and he apparently saw no problems when looking at my retina, but I regrettably did not mention this symptom to him because, although some aspects of it have been present for several days, I thought it was better. It was only later today when out walking that I observed the distinctly lighter patch on the ground advancing as I did. I do have extensive lattice degeneration in that eye but no tears or holes that I am aware of. I do not experience flashes in that eye and do not see wavy lines when looking at the standard macular-degeneration grid. How concerned should I be about this?
