3 months after Retinal Surgery - Black and Thread-like Floaters

by ScottV, Mar 24, 2006 12:00AM
After 3 months suddenly I've developed Black Floaters and Thread-like Floaters. It also seems I am looking through "yellow tinted" Liquid. I have gone to my eye doctor who performed the surgery and he wasn't that concerned. My vision seems to be getting blurrier because of the tint and floaters...does this eventually clear-up?

dont know if it'll clear up or not.  did you have silicone oil injection?  if thats the case, you shouldnt expect to have normal vision looking thru the oil.

if your surgeon isnt concerned, then there's not much you can do...
