So I’ve been told in my most recent appointment that my retina is starting to detach in two places and it’s because of the amount of retinal traction in my eye at the minute. Has anyone here had the Vitrectomy for tractional retina detachment and come out the other side? I’ve read it’s a lot more complicated than a normal Vitrectomy. Yep. I’m that unlucky. My vision is incredibly stringy in that eye and can see lightning strikes/flashes where I’ve had yet another huge bleed two weeks ago. Went in for an emergency appointment and the doc said there was nothing they could do for the light flashes as it’s the effects of the laser? So have I got them for life?
