Keratoplasty
My Mom under went a cataract operation with a monofocul lens.But after the cataract surgery my mom vision became cloudy so we went to doctor B and he mention that the cloudy vision is due to surgical trauma and fuchs corneal dystrophy. He suggested us to wait for 1.5 months to let the eye heal on itself. After a months time the vision is still cloudy so doctor recommended going for a keratoplasty. Doctor C suggested to wait for 1 more month before going for operation. Should we wait or operate.

If it's pseudophakic bullous keratopathy you can wait for 1-1.5 months more as sometimes it takes a little longer for edema to settle. There is definitely a scope of visual restoration by doing a lamellar keratoplasty procedure i.e DSAEK/DMEK in which only the corneal endothelial layer is replaced. Thus less recovery time.
