Post scleral buck operation

[Liya829]

I had scleral buck operation four weeks ago for my right eye. The docotr said everything is all right after checking.
However I can feel the flash around the right corner of the right eye ( where the problem was before). The doctor said it may due to the retina is still under recovery. May I ask did any anyone have this experience before or does anyone know why? Will the flash go when the retina is fully recovery?
The vision is not fully back yet and I have to block this eye when using the computer to avoid disctraction. Will it hurt the eye if using the computer too long?
Thank you very much.

It takes a long time for the vision to recover after a RD. If the macula was pulled off the eye may not recover normal vision if reattached. It will not damage your eye to use the computer. Get other information from your retina surgeon.

Thank you for your reply.
However I am more concerned about the flash I feel these days. Is it due to retina still healing?
I also feel nose pain on the same side with the eye, is it possible due to the operation?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.

Re-read the last sentence.  That's all I can tell you.
