Re: I need answers for after surgery for detached retina.

I had surgery on May 29,1999 on both me eyes laser sugery on me left eye and scleral bucking on the right eye. My question is I have been released from the doctor to return to work. The problem is I have a fluid bubble in my eye that I see a black spot all the time. If I open both eyes at the same time I have double vision so I have to keep my right eye closed, and the vision in my right eye has blured vision . Not only did the doctor say I can go back to work he said that I can drive how I asked him, he said that I have on good eye. Please help me because I dont know what to do no one is listing to me. I have never had this problem and know of no one with this problem. I feel that I am not ready to return to work or to drive what can I do or go for help? Any help you can give I will be so thinkful.

I just had surgery for a detached retina, all the doctor did though was to inject a gas into my eye. The bubble was used to push against the retina to get it in place, then I had laser treatment two days later. I understand that the bubble will dissipate in about 3 weeks on its own.. its a pain in the ***.. but it will go away.
