I hope my surgery goes well and I hipe I can keep being a forklift driver. Thats my biggest skill.

also known as PVR. It is a serious complication of retina surgery or any eye surgery. membranes eventually contract causing redetachments & holes to the retina. Membranes can be on the top, underneath and even inside the retina tissue. presents 4 to 6 weeks after retina surgery...Currently PVR is considered an "unmet medical need" by the medical community. Dozens of compounds have been thrown at it some suspicioulsy successful but like so many "cures" somehow are derailed at the last moment by pharma overlords or study leaders....and currently experimental trials of Methotxrate given as a series of 13 injections over 16 weeks show promise in this serious complication. There is also no suitable vitreous substitute meaning when your vitreous ages it thins to water from a gel and causes the eye to become unstable. Known as PVD. I would have thought in the last 45 years they would have had a lot of these issues solved. Instead all they do is try to find the next viagra.

I'm going on day 2 and I can see my blurred cellphone. That's good news. I expect to know in 4 to 8 weeks my outcome. 👍

forever my friends forever unless you get the surgery

I've had it over a month from attempting a plank exercise. Still seeing floater clouds and flashes. Hoping it goes away.

Hey guys I had SMILE done in london 5 weeks ago I also got pressbeyond which is blended vision , one eye distance one eye close up , does anyone know how long full recovery is and does the vision get better over the coming months , I am 43 male the procedure was painless and very quick and I do not have much dry eye

I was in los angeles and than I go to business trip to atlanta I was at tradeshow I started to see black holes like a curtain closing slowly floating , In atlanta directly I go to another doctor he said u need emergency operation , but he said u can not go back to los angeles because flight is not allowed for 2 weeks after operation than I decided to flight rightaway to LA from airport to emergency room right away . 2 days ago they made operation with laser , + gas bubble , Im so scary I will edit for updates.

My mom had a cataract surgery she got pseudomonas bacteria. Then it took two days for the doctors to find that it's psudomonous. Later she had a corneal transplant. After that the doctors started retinal detachment process. It's been three months. She didn't have any progress. Except light perception. Will she recover?

I got it a few weeks ago from doing plank exercises. Still see the odd blue flash and have smoky floaters. Avoid planks!

Stay away from these surgeries

Do you have to have any sedation? Rather remember it…

Operations are available but not to people over 75 in Australia. Unless of course you have Private health cover which many of us don’t which means we have to walk around like this for the rest of our days. Imagine having blurred vision plus seeing things much bigger than the good eye. It’s a nightmare. Thankyou Australian Medicare, you should remove the last four letters. MEDI the name for Australia’s health system.

Hello, I had the 3in one vitractomyAug17,2024 5 weeks ago im seeing blurry I can see colors and #'s my gas bubble is still there but thanks to God Almighty and Bascom Palmer I will be healed and so will you 😊

Unfortunately I was operated with a scleral buckle. my vision before surgery was 10/10, after surgery I am short-sighted from the operated eye. the vision now is 1/10 and corrected with glasses to 10/10. several discomforts have appeared after surgery, in addition to the short-sight vision, diplopia, red eye, thining of the sclera, lot of phosphenes (which I didn't have before surgery).

Had RD surgery 8/6 almost a month...eye surgery went well im driving very carefully but my vision is still blurry in my right eye...cant wait til its clear ❤

Not true I still not seeing well after like 15 days

I had lasik in 2018 for distance. Im 61 now. Then in 23 had to have cataract surgery and ended up NEARsighted in one 1, and distance in the other. That didnt work. Then the cataract eye needed a DMEK and now that eye is Farsighted, so if you are over 45 and havent had cataract surgery yet, dont do lasik. They never tell you any of these possible outcomes.

Thank you!! I have surgery soon.

Bullshit I have had floaters and flashes for over a year now been countless times to eye DR keeps telling me no retina tear pressure looks good just come back back if more floaters come on suddenly

Bullshit !!! 3 years ( right eye ) No Change .... Left eye just detached last week .... Now both eyes are loaded with crap... And it's not just the dark or black parts of the floater . .. I must have the entire vitreous membrane waving back and forth like a piece of snot in your eyes.... It's VERY Disruptive !!!

Do glasses have an effect after surgery?

Going to work the day after each eye being done weeks apart.

It can indeed hurt!

Had the surgery about 6 weeks ago the gas bubble is still there

2 months still poor night vision blurred and glare ...Google reflex complications lot more than doctors letting on

My 1st eye was done and I experienced a great improvement on days 1,2 and 3 but I could not read, and could not use my reading glasses unless I covered my operation eye (since the "correction" in that eye was no longer necessary due to the new lens. But then my vision got blurry. There's been some improvement up to about 10 feet but further than that gets blurrier the further away I look. 2nd eye I had almost immediate Wonderful closeup vision - I've worn reading glasses for decades and since that eye was operated on I can read books, medicine bottles (even very small print) and my computer etc. This eye still has blurry vision for mid-distant things. I've been reading a lot about neuro-adaptation. My glasses are multifocal, meaning there are concentric circles on them which bring different distances into focus. Reading eye charts my 1st eye has 20/25 vision (Very good). My second eye has 20/20 vision. BUT I would Certainly not believe it from what I "see"!! Both eyes are Very Very slowly improving - I should say .... my brain is improving in its ability to process what the eyes are providing it with!! It is Extremely frustrating and my mid-long distance vision is worse than before I had the surgeries. :-( Yesterday my ophthalmolosit said "this is as good as it gets". (His bedside manner leaves a LOT to be desired!!!) I do Not believe him. I've read it can take 3 to 6 months (or more) for neuro-adaptation to complete. I am going to purchse a program using the Gabor patch concept. It's called RevitalVision. It's scientifically reviewed and the videos on their site (from cataract patients and even a specialist) give me a Huge amount of hope. My experience is definitely different from what's been described in this video. Especially with multifocal lenses, the neuro-adaptation period can be fairly long - so people should not be given false hope that can alarm them if their experience is different. Also, it's good to do our own research. If I'd believed my ophthalmologist's gloom & doom announcement, I'd be forking out a couple hundered dollars for glasses, and not giving my brain the time to adjust to the 20/20 and 20/15 vision my eyes actually now have. (Although some of the letters are blurry, I can read all the lines on the chart.)

I had virtually immediate improvement

ALL TYPES of laser eye surgery are RUSSIAN ROULETTE ANYWHERE because every eye operated on gets permanent corneal nerve damage which can cause horrific incurable dry eye and even neuropathic pain!! ALL damaged patients are just ACCEPTABLE CASUALTIES to the surgeons & companies in this unregulated industry!! 😡

will u be able to see stereoscopic images like with 3d glasses ?

Ballpark figure?

Sorry but this is misleading. Floaters often stay permanently. Often.

I had sudden onset of new floaters last week along with peripheral flashes when turning my head. I went to the Ophthalmologist and they dilated me and looked me over for 2 to 3 hours with two different docs. They confirmed a PVD but could find no retinal tears at all. However they did say I was Shafer's sign positive which is pigmentation leaking out. This was why they spent so much more time looking me over. I have to go back in a month to check again for any tear. From what I read online a positive Shafer's sign means you do have a retinal tear. Does the fact I did not have a tear but am positive for Shafer's sign necessarily mean I will have a tear in the near future? It's only been about 5 days and my floaters have diminished greatly and the flashes are mostly gone now. Can the PVD heal and the Shafer's sign go away?

Depth perception is a real problem with this!

My doctor is willing to do both at once if I want it. For e the issues are what are discusses here - very bad cataracts in both eyes, very unbalanced prescription if I just do one and a need to be able to drive as soon as possible. So I probably will if I can work out the logistics of care for the first couple days after.

Can you take glaucoma medications eye drops(timolol) while going through posterior vitreous detachment ?

Thats what my eye doc said, 3 years later and no improvement

Took 11 months for me.

My brother haad retuna detachment surgery yesterday...now he got runny nose and watery eyes...eye is swelling also...is this a serious problem...pls advise some medicine for runny nose...and advice

I recently had cataract surgery on one eye. It was so painful that I was gritting my teeth and clenching my fists. I me due to have the other eye operation shortly and I am dreading it.

I have been facing dry eyes for about 3 months. I've been using systane eye drops since the last month, and used VISOL GEL for about 2 months but no results. I'm also doing cold compresses 1 or two times a day but no results. What can I do? Is there no cure for it?

I've it and Im extremely sensitive to light, poor night vision and also blurry

Thank you ❤

My surgery was supposed to be just the removal of scar tissue on the right eye, but unfortunately the doctor had to place a gas bubble in the eye due to the beating the retina took from removing the scar tissue. There were no tears but he felt the retina needed additional support. Fortunately I do not have to go through the face down protocol but I do have to sleep on my side. I also attempt to stay face down as much as possible while doing regular activities. I change jobs in three weeks so I hope they eye has mostly cleared up by then.

Hi I'm 66 no eye problems prescription 8 plus would I be suitable I wear contacts would love to be free of lenses and glasses thanks

I did the same surgery 7 days ago and i did not get dry eyes just blurry and starbroards at night vision but i can work and drive safely i will wait 3 months and feedback

I have gotten surgery last year worst days of my life 😢. Ive lost complete sight on my right eye however with glasses Iam able to keep my 20/20 vision I was told I would become near sided after the surgery so yeah. Everything has been good since. Anyone going through this you got this👍🏻
