Retinal Detachment Support Group

Hello and welcome. I had gas bubble surgery 3 times. Twice in the right eye and once in the left for detached retinas. The gas bubble took several weeks to 2 months to heal enough for me to regain my eyesight without seeing the bubble. In my right eye, I lost quite a bit of vision but a stronger prescription remedied that and also I developed quite a cataract in my right eye so had to have cataract surgery in that eye and then a couple of months later in my left eye as I needed the balance of vision. The cataract surgery restored my vision amazingly well. I no longer needed glasses except for comuter work as I had whats called monovision-where my right eye is corrected for distance and my left for close up. I am very happy with the results of all my surgery but it did take a lot of patience for all the healing. It will get better but like I said, you need a lot of patience. Hope this helped a bit. If you have a good doc, trust him to know how the recovery process works. If you are not sure about your doc, seek a second opinion.
