First off, you are correct. New glasses Rx will not improve vision that is decreased by a PCO. A PCO occurs in a large number of patients at a variable time after cataract surgery. It can become so dense that it is difficult to visualize the retina, however before it gets this bad vision is usually decreased to the point that the PCO is treated.

Depending how much PCO and the location of the PCO on your implant lens, yes, it can't make the peripheral vision blurred or hazy. Customer Ok, I'm just worried.

I just noticed the area when plucking my eye brows. If I look up it’s about the size of my iris. In fact if I look up to the left it looks as if my iris is blood red. I have rubbed my eye but not excessively no other redness itchiness. Just feels a bit dried out. But I have very dry eyes always.

The hair spray that you have used may cause local irritation when it falls in the eye. You seem to have done the right thing by flushing the eye but it is recommended to flush the eye for 15 minutes. So, I would recommend that you flush the eye a bit more as this has happened recently. It is very likely you should be fine after that.

restasis is a prescription eye drop for chronic dry eye. yes, most antihistamines cause worse dry eyes. and zyrtec is a newer antihistamine. you should dry the cold or ice compresses around your eyes to help decrease swelling and dark corners.
