I have localized scleroderma and have had a cataract operation. I now have a film appearing over the same eye and wonder if its connected with scleroderma?
A. The first thing to emphasise here is that localized scleroderma does not affect other organs other than skin and underlying muscles and occasionally growing bones in children. If you have noticed any new symptoms following your recent surgery you should consult your doctor who will refer you either to an ophthalmologist or back to the surgeon who operated on you. It may be something very simple like dry eyes which is common and often presents with the symptoms you describe but eyes are special and you should always seek expert advice when it comes to eye symptoms.
