I reassured and explained to him the reasons behind the high blue light perception and after a while Shyam calmed down enough to wait it out. I could understand his dilemma and concerns. One week later he complained to me that all the threads have a hint of blue in them! He was very disturbed as his profession entailed appreciating colors and using them in various mixes“. He took a few days off from his professional responsibilities. After a week he got his other eye cataract surgery done as well. This was the first time in a long time that he could see so clearly and that too without the use of glass.
SEEING BLUE LIGHT FULL
His joy knew no bounds as he could read the full vision chart the first day after his cataract surgery. “ Shyam underwent a very successful cataract surgery. The ability to perceive colors in their correct form returns to normalcy within a few weeks after cataract surgery. Hence, after surgery, some patients see ‘blue’ with the eye, as compared to the other non-operated eye. Given that cataract is a slowly progressive disease, human mind does not perceive the alteration of color and slowly adapts to reduced blue color perception. This happens as cataracts have blue light (short wave length light) blocking effect. Cataracts significantly reduce a person’s ‘blue light’ perception. Today, it can be taken off as soon as a cataract interferes with day to day professional or personal activities like watching television, driving, climbing stairs, playing games, cooking and reading etc. In the past, if you had cataract, you had to wait till your cataract was ‘ripe and mature’ before having it removed.
