Vitrectomy

[Helen40]

Hello to those of you who have been following my journey and welcome yo anyone else this may reach.

I have now been given a date for vitrectomy on my right eye after approx 18 bleeds in the past 9 months. At first I was upset believing this to be a last resort but now I understand that term refers more to budgets and necessity.

So it's next Wednesday! Yep I'm terrified and to top it off I have my dvla sight test Monday morning, then I'm straight yo hospital for a pre op injection of eyelea. Really hoping I can get this test done before the op!

I wish they could let you have general anaesthetic lol.

Wish me luck/share positive experiences! Xx

Hope it all goes well for you @Helen40
To encourage you, I do know someone else who had this done, and it went well, and they're still driving.

Mine got cancelled.

So no advice, just best wishes for a smooth operation & a speedy recovery.

They did say mine would resolve itself over a year, so if yours is a similar time frame,

Don't be too disheartened until you have given it time to heal.
