Thomas Mowry's Macular Pucker Story-Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center (AZ)

[@khakuda]

I’m in my 50s and have a macular pucker in both eyes. One eye started seeing straight lines as wavy and my focal point sees things higher than it really is. The other I all of a sudden started losing central vision to the point that I could not read, and I saw a cloud in my central vision when looking at the distance. The membranes also caused cataracts to form prematurely. I had a cataract surgery two months ago and one month after I had the membrane peel and it has been five weeks since. My experience was very similar to this video. Within 10 days I could read again, and see much more clearly and it has gotten even better since. It is so good that it makes me realize help how poor my vision is in the other eye which I now have to have surgery on as well. I only hope the second one goes as well as the first has so far.

What a wonderful Doctor, l wish l could afford a trip over there from 🇦🇺 but alas, at this point l doubt it will be possible to have surgery, at $8000 + that’s a years pension. So glad this gentleman was thrilled. I can imagine his delight. 👍😇❤️

Having that surgery saved my vision.....thank you my brilliant surgeon.... I would rather have eye surgery than go anywhere near a dentist...

I'm going to have a macular pucker surgery on May this year. I'm only 24 and I'm super scared. I did my right eye 2 years ago. My central vision is damaged and I'm going to do my left eye this year. God welling it will go ok

[@tinamarie681]

hope your surgery went well.... it's amazing what they can do today

Ali, fear not! Eye surgery has progressed tremendously in the last 10 years, and the operation to correct a macular pucker is very highly developed. I just had my right eye done, complete with a cataract lens replacement, and it was completely without pain or discomfort. I have had more "painful" haircuts! So go in there confident that you will be totally comfortable and have a great surgery!

@@davemunroe4484 i had the same. I am 9 monts after my surgery. My vision is still blury and i can't read small letters. If you see my post please answer me. How much time pass to have your vision back?

They fail to mention the facedown protocol post-op.
