vitrectomy surgery recovery - 3 months post op follow up 

When you question the quality of your life...it is time!

you probably need to find the right doctor. best of luck

@@vitrectomyforfloaters-pati5963 I agree, every doctor have his own decision

Hi, try atropine drops if you need temporary relief indoors. Outdoors you absolutely need sunglasses if you use atropine to protect your macula though.

Hey man, I'm 22 and I've been dealing with the same issue since I was 16. I'm no medical expert, but from what I understand a lot of ophthalmologists just aren't familiar with how floaters are treated. But there is a doctor in California who does a limited vitrectomy for floaters. It's apparently much safer than an entire vitrectomy. His name is Jerry Sebag if you're interested in looking into how this procedure works. Not everyone is a good candidate for this surgery, but some people are and I'm sure it can help depending on the severity of your floaters. Good luck.

How many floaters u have

Cheers

I chose dr Chen because i saw his youtbe videos....and gained confidence he can do it

I cannot draw them...sorry There where everywhere..all forma shapes ans sizes. Very distracting

Agreed, 2 year update please

Are you in Sydney Australia?

Hi. Good luck. You will be in good hands.

@@PetzGeso i am not sure what a frill is. I had one night when the entire eye image had water like ripples which made me panic, but it went away the next day. So...not sure if we are talking about the same thing...but nothing other than that.

​@@PetzGeso what is your age? And what your surgeon told about catract any side effect or High pressure in eye?

​@@PetzGeso how old are u.... Nd do all ur floaters gone??

I have to say that i could see very well the next day with the exception of few hours after the drops...4 times a day. The redness cleared up in 3-4 weeks.

@@vitrectomyforfloaters-pati5963 who was your doctor!?

Do you see flashes constantly? Are they distracting?

@@vitrectomyforfloaters-pati5963 yes my flashes are constantly and distracting🥺

No prescrption change due to vitrectomy...but as i age, i am changing prescriptions slowly

my dad had this surgery done and its was white blurry for about 2 weeks was not until 3 weeks it started clearing. Week 4 now better he had the vitreous removal for swollen retina high pressure. He is older 80s but its clearing he had no pain takes time 3-4 weeks .

Yes ...pvd induction. The doctor did a bit of laser just for safety and prevent a detachment

@@vitrectomyforfloaters-pati5963 very good, how is you're cataract now? I want to do fov the next 2 months and Thanks for guiding me I have a bit astigmatism with hyperopia the refraction is change aftet the surgery or not? You did not experience Frill after the operation? Thank you

@@hamidrezakarimi1466 no cataract so far. Your astigmatism should be the same after. I did have some frills after surgery but they went away after few days.

Possible if the doctor in inexperienced....this is a high precision surgery.

Yes

Hie Riya....are u considering vitrectomy

No difference...

No. You should see your doctor

No

I was in a day clinic for 3 hours....that was it. Yes i have floaters in the other eye. Not as bad, but now they do not bother me any more I understand....

No residual floaters for me. Only one spot..probaly blood...barely see it.

I am ok. No change. One operated eye without floaters, the other one still has. But they do not bother me

@@vitrectomyforfloaters-pati5963 That's great, I'm very happy to know that and I hope it continues to improve, thank you for answering. I'm watching a lot of videos where people are having surgery.

No. All clear.

Need to see a doctor....

Hey buddy..can I contact you...through your insta ID....I have same problem

@@eramshaikh_21397 sure

@@vaibhavparsadi6489 I am also having same problem .Can't judge whether to go for surgery or not

​@@eramshaikh_21397 give me your insta I'd I m also suffering from floaters 😢😢

Not yet

I am doing very well. My life is back . No signs of cataract, or any issues so far. I will do a video update in a couple of months

@@vitrectomyforfloaters-pati5963 Oh awesome and you had the induced vitrectomy which they say is more higher risk for cataracts then a core vitrectomy?

Yes...that is the general consensus...however nobody has good statistics. Not inducing pvd has risk for further floaters and potential retinal detachment...low...but still risk

I see also the risk of frill with a core vitrectomy? but an induced vitrectomy less risk of frill?

@@alexanderstewart-dawson What exactly is frill?

The surgeon left some air/gas inside the eye which cleared in 2 days. No oil required. Oil is for retinal detachment procedures.

@@vitrectomyforfloaters-pati5963 How long did it take for you to "fully" recover from the surgery. Like when did you feel confident doing more risker things like lifting heavy things and moving around without fearing something might happen to your eye?

25 gauge. Dr Simon Chen - Vision Eye Institute Chatswood NSW Australia

@@vitrectomyforfloaters-pati5963 I would recommend to find someone who can dot 27 hauge vitrectomy

All floaters from the operated eye are gone

@@vitrectomyforfloaters-pati5963 can You decide vitrectomy for other eye?

No....not yet

All good at my end. I am thinking about it.

Sir when you look outside at the sky you still see them ? Please reply

@@vrejmagic353 not with the operated eye. Floaters are gone completely. I can still see them with the other eye.0

@@vitrectomyforfloaters-pati5963 thx sir pleas give me contact you ?

I took the risk for that possibility....my floaters drove me mad.....

After surgery? Yes i have one dot...probably some debris, or blood left over. Does not bother me.

@@vitrectomyforfloaters-pati5963 how long time passed? i have 3 dots in front of me very annoying

@@elenadolcezzamusic2337 2 years...

@@vitrectomyforfloaters-pati5963 did u observe any difference the first 6 months after recovery?

@@elenadolcezzamusic2337 no. I think i was lucky with my surgery...doctor was good, no complications so far, no left overs in the eye, quick healing.

Great!

Keep it low for few days. Cycling is fine after 1-2 weeks. Ask the doctor as well.

What do you mean...liquid?

Gas airbubble or silicone or saline

When you are going to do second eye surgery

@@parmarshadevsinh1082 air bubble, saline solution

@@parmarshadevsinh1082 not sure if i want to do the second eye. as one eye is floaters free, my brain compensates...so they do not bother me any more.

I think so. I am not a doctor so you need to talk to one. I heard about floaters can happen to any age.

I'm 23 and im recovering from my 2nd vitrectomy. if you find a skilled surgeon then go for it

@@SixShots5 Hey there, I know it's been about 2 months ago, but how are you doing now since recovery? Also, was your surgery FOV or full vitrectomy? I'm 25 and thinking of getting treatment since my floaters have gotten too distracting to the point I don't feel safe driving in broad daylight.

@@KCEXE doing fine and it was full vitrectomy

@@SixShots5 Full, huh. I assume you had it done for more than just floaters? But real glad to hear it's all worked out for you! Not many retina specialists/surgeons are willing to treat younger people like us.

Floaters gone in the operated eye. The other eye still ha floaters but thry do not bother me any more..as thr brain compensates. No cataract. All good. My.life is back after years of suffering.

No
