I developed macular pucker after an eye injury and lazar surgery for the retinal tear a year ago. My DR says we should do the surgery within 2 years and sooner is better than later. But I recently scored 20/20 in my injured eye though he says the most recent scan is worse (more edema?). But no macular hole - yet? I return for another exam in 3 months. I feel achiness and headaches when I get stressed -- and am feeling more stressed about the surgery as time goes on. I believe I am in the hands of a good surgeon - but how do I know for sure?
