vitrectomy for floaters - post surgery recovery - day 1

vitrectomy for floaters - post surgery recovery - day 1
this is the day of the surgery
The surgery took place in early morning. By lunchtime I was home, with an eye patch obviously.

i got shower of floaters in both eyes few months after i had lasik and lasik was the biggest regret of my life and now i am planning to do vitrectomy

It is a great quality of life issue. I can no longer drive at night. One eye has been a year and the other eye just happened. I agree it’s torture if you live an active lifestyle and are very independent this is devastating.

I know that this had to be challenging to deliver this message as concisely as you have but you did really well and I thank you as I have been receiving care for retinal tear with the shrinking of the vitreous. I have a bridge vessel that spans the now lasered tear that has re-bled several times and keeps clouding out my vision so the say I should start considering vitrectomy. I I am now seeking to understand what is the wise choice, to avoid vitrectomy as long as possible or if this is too great a risk of further tearing and possibly worse. Anyhow I will watch your follow-ups. Again, thank you!

Im 60 years old with massive floaters in 1 eye. The Opthamologist noticed i have a small cataract in each eye but i dont notice it. But she suggested cataract surgery first in the 1 eye followed by the FOV. The retina surgeon agreed but also said when he does the FOV......he will do a capsulotomy so i wont have the opacity issue later - a nice clean eyeball and new lens.

My story is very similar to yours. The floaters were so bad that it made my vision very poor. You used the word debilitating and that is how I would definitely. Not a few floaters here and there but just a total mess in the eyes.

Congratulations your surgery been successful, hope you doing very well. I am suffering from this hell like torture from last two years, I have seen dozens of retina surgeons who do vitrectomy but none of them can see my floaters, my question is, were your eye floaters was visible to doctor while your eye exam before vitrectomy?

[@aksearningpoint5180]

What about I had bleeding in my eyes ? Doctors telling blood will settle down the. The floaters will be gone.But the floaters are just too much .Can you explain it shall I go for viterctomy .

Hi, Thank you for your vlog.

Also had floaters. Usually, they faded over time. Then, I got a big floater and need laser to repair the retina. Finally got PVD and macular pucker. Then vision started to get worse. Have to prepare nentally for the opration. Did it 5 days ago. It is always hard when there is a choice to make decision.

I just had cataract surgery and it went very well no problems but soon after I had capsulotomy so I had YAG surgery on both eyes for floaters now I’ve found out that the floaters are viscous floaters which have to be removed thru Vitrectomy surgery to remove the viscous floaters.

Please.update

[@paulwoodford1984]

I have floaters in my left eye but i can ignore them and take measures in not noticing them. i live a healthy lifestyle with all the crucial nutrients that feed the retina and lubricators the eye and maintain a body that’s well hydrated. Plus always wear eye protection, during the summer and winter. winter is worse than the summer, due to the wind and rain. Must protect those eyes.

Catarcts yet approaching 3 years?

[@hechavarria100]

You should have waited till you got the final results after a few weeks or even days after you got your surgery and your patch came off? I’ll pray for you! 🥵

[@tjeff2381]

thanks for your video, do you notice a frill floater that is very thin thread and usually moves at peripheral arch of eye ball？can u describe any pity or missing point of this surgery？
