Same-day cataract surgery performed on father and son Performing cataract surgery on a 28-year-old is uncommon, but also doing cataract surgery on that person's 56-year-old father on the same day is even more rare, said Dr. Barry L. Seiller, ophthalmologist. Paul Zimny, 28, of Sacramento, Calif., and his father, 56-year-old John Zimny of McHenry, recently were patients of Dr. Seiller at Vic­ tory Memorial Hospital, Waukegan, where they both underwent cataract surgery on their right eyes. "This is an unusual case because you seldom see a father and son with a rare problem at the same time. First of ."all, it's unusual to do a cataract operation on a person as young as Paul. But when you do see a father-son pair, the dad usually is about 90, and the son 60," Dr. Seiller explained. Cataracts cloud the lens of the eye and block light, decreasing vi­ sion. They are the leading causes of blindness in the world. Both Zimnys had an uncommon, hereditary, progressive, con­ genital, snow-flake type of cataract. The younger Zimny's began developing rapidly in gram­ mar school, while his father's began progressing slowly" in his teens. Dr. 9eiller had operated on their worst, left, eyes last November, though not on the same day, Without surgery, the Zimnys would have been legally blind. A choreographer, Paul said he could not find a doctor he liked in California to perform the opera­ tion that he needed in order to con­ tinue his work. Before his surgery, he "always had to have someone tell me whom I was talking to." So the 28-year-old flew to Illinois to be with his father and-have surgery together. The younger Zimny's cataract w a s r e m o v e d w i t h a phaecoemulsification aspiration machine. With the surgical device, the ophthalmologist makes a small cut about one- eighth inch in the front part of the eye; then a needle-like tip on the machine vibrates quickly and breaks the cataract into fine pieces, which are drawn into the opening of the instrument by means of suction. Paul will wear contact lenses, Dr. Seiller said. On the other hand, John did not undergo the same procedure and will not wear contacts. His faulty lens was removed and then replaced by a clear plastic lens in­ serted during surgery. This in­ traocular lens implant allows good side vision, and depth perception is not lost. "It was such a big surprise to see colors last time I had the operation (on the left eye) done," said John, ironically, a color mat- * cher by trade. (He matched colors according to their intensity.) "I had never seen colors before - on- ; ly gray." "I also had never seen the hair on my arms before," the older Zimny commented, adding that he " is looking forward to driving a car • again, something he has been . unable to do for 10 years. On the "negative" side of regaining their eyesight, though, both Zimnys noted that people no longer appear "flawless." Before - their operations, they said, people generally looked "so pretty, and all had good complexions." LAST DAYS TO SAVE! SALE ENDS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13TH! Sale 12.99 Your choice.
