[QUOTE="runningwitht1, post: 1819793, member: 476056"] Being referred to the vitreal-retinal surgeon following my follow up on Friday to discuss possible vitrectomy. Getting several new floaters daily and a couple of pretty big haemorrhages a week now and can’t really see anything through the left eye. It’s like looking through watery thick black smoke! The good news is the doctor I saw on Friday agrees with the laser surgeon that once the treatment is complete my vision should return to normal as aside from all the new blood vessels the retinas look healthy and otherwise undamaged, it’s just the view is being obscured by all the haemorrhage in the vitreous so that’s a positive! I’ve done the bad “google research” thing on vitrectomy recovery. Has anyone else had a vitrectomy and had to do the face down “posturing” thing afterwards. I’ve also seen that you can’t fly for at least 2 months after vitrectomy due to the pressure and the presence of a gas bubble. I’m due to fly to Oslo and Berlin at the end of August so guessing I will have to cancel my trip :( [/QUOTE]
