POOR VISION

HAD CATARACT SURGERY 2 YEARS AGO. VISION HAS NOT BEEN GOOD SINCE. HAD THE POST OPULATE ? IT MADE IT WORSE. HAD THE RETINA REATTACHED  2 MONTHS AGO. THEY HAVE RUN ALL THESE TESTS TO FIND OUT WHY MY VISION IS SO TERRIBLE. THEY ARE NOT FINDING THE PROBLEM. MY SYMPTOMS ARE THAT NEAR OR FAR VISION IS LIKE LOOKING THROUGH CELLOPHANE AND A GOOD SHARE OF WHAT I SEE IS LIKE SOMEONE TOOK A WHITE OUT PENCIL AND WHITED OUT MOST OF THE LETTERS ON HIGHWAY SIGNS OR ANYTHING WRITTEN ON PAPER. I NEED HELP---MY DR. IS TELLING ME I SEE FINE. WHAT TEST IS IT THAT COULD SPOT MY SYMPTONS SO I CAN RESOLVE THIS.

A retinal detachment is a major threat to your eye and even if it is reattached it doesn't always seen normal. My suggestion would be to see a second retinal specialist for another opinion. Central spots might be tested with amsler grid, visual fields, macular OCT or FA test.
