Hi Doctor.

Now after one day of removal i have blurred vision/haziness, not able to see just like clouding, vision is 5/60 images are not clear. doctor told me that now i have cataract problem, and my lense will be changed after 1-2 month after seing my eye condition, prescribe one eyedrop for `15 months Gatifloxacin & Prednisolone Acetate 3 timesin a day. Please advise how much time it will take to clear my vision.  what should be the precaution we should take so that retina detachment cant happen in future again.

These types of retina cases are all pretty unique. It is not possible to generalize. many cases the vision does not return to anywhere near normal. We cannot assess the prognosis from this information. Make a list of yur questions and ask your retina MD
