I have been told by an another retinal specialis that fluid below retina is very small and only require laser. I still see flashes and he mentioned it is due to vitreous rubbing with retina. How long will it take for flashes to subside down? They are really annoying and scary.
So it might be possible for Liquid to be present in hole but not behind retina?
Also is their difference between fluid and subretinal fluid? In my case it is pocket of subretinal fluid as mentioned by retinal specialist.
Thanks for your reply. I have couple of more questions:
1. For first few days my flashes stop completely after laser. Now it started again but they are different from previous one. These are arc like flashes which I see few times a day on periphery. What are the causes of such flashes?
2. The fluid is present in hole and not outside it. Does it mean it is minimum fluid or more? how to identify?
1. You did have surgery. Laser surgery.
2. Usually if laser is used and nothing else there is miminum or no fluid. If a lot of fluid then scleral buckle or gas injection is done.
3.The laser doesn't treat floaters. They may be their indefinitely. The flashes generally stop over 4-8 weeks but you can find multiple postings on this forum of people that have had laser or RD surgery who have had flashes for over a year.
