Post surgicail retial affects
by hot63dog, May 23, 2009 04:36PM
I had retinal tear laser surgery this past week. Gas bubble was inserted into my eye to seal a sac against the retina. It was explained to me that I would see gas bubbles and they would break down inro several that would be a good sign. Three days later I see one bubble and my vision is considerable blurry. Is this normal?

It takes way longer than 3 days for the vision to start to improve. It likely will take something more like 4-6 weeks for things to improve. Please call your retinal specialist to get your questions answered by someone that knows your case personally.
