Earlier this year I had a check up at the ophthalmologist to check on my retinal detachments and the latest with my eyes.
Had a right eye detachment in June 2002 and left eye two tears in May 2004.
I have terrible vision my whole life to add the rest of my ailments.
I was diagnosed with a macular pucker in my right eye. It has suddenly gotten worse to where reading sentences is wavy, distorted to small sections and looks to be moving. The only solution is a vitrectomy, where they cut open your eyeball and remove the scar tissue and floaters to hopefully correct your vision. It's a dangerous and can be very painful operation.
Has anyone here had/have one and what should I expect as time progresses? [Reply]
They numbed up my eye, then gave me a small needle with numbing agent in my eye, then more drops and then the doctor injected my eye with a drug to treat my occlusion and macular pucker. No pain just a nervous wreck before the shot.
Now have a headache and eye is bloody at the bottom where the injection was done.
Small price to pay to fix my eyes. Should see improvement in the next week.
