I forgot to say that I also have a posterior stapyloma. I have read that this combined with my level of prescription and a macular hole do nit make for a successful outcome.
Thanks Cathie, good luck with the cataract op. Hopefully, you have been through the worst bit and this will be the end!
Your surgeon is correct.
Dr. O
I had a vitrectomy and ILM peel to fix a macular hole 2 years ago,also had the 10 days face down and a gas bubble,although i don't have myopia,i am quite long sighted.
The hole has closed successfully and all the distortion is gone but i do have a slight blurry patch where the hole was,but i can live with that.
I have now developed a cataract and will be getting that removed in a few weeks time,i am a bit nervous about that but i know it has to be done.
Good luck with your op,i hope all goes well for you.
