Aurora, At about the 2-3 week marker after surgery, the total number of floaters in my eye jumped to around 20. However, at about week 4 it dropped to 0. I...
Hi there - I had the same worry when the bubble got smaller but was still visible to me. I too was worried about spots, specks and webs moving about above the...

I think that you might be doing too much exercising. When I had the gas bubble I was told not to exercise, like jumping around and do anything that would...
I am coming up on 4 weeks post-RD surgery (vitrectomy, bubble) in left eye. My Dr cleared me to do anything I felt like after 2 weeks...even though the bubble...

Deby, Carmine, Janelle, and Jennifer...Thanks so much for your tips and support and words of wisdom! Janelle, you're right in the sense that I'm definately not...
Thankfully I'm not the norm for detachments. I had gas, viterectomy, buckle and laser for my first detachment. My doctor said he wanted to decide on oil or...
Has anyone here had their lens capsule removed? They want to remove mine and I'm worried about the implications, especially if it's possible to get an IOL in...
Aurora, Everyone's detachment is different. There are people who have had only one surgery and it worked out fine. They go back to doing their normal stuff...
Tomorrow will be my 6 week check up with my retinal dr. The bubbles "played hide and go seek" last week and by Friday they disappeared!! I am still concerned...
It does get better. You have been thru major surgery and because it's your eyesight your brain has to work hard to compensate for the new input it's...
