Vision restoration???
by Eyezz, Jan 28, 2009 06:55PM
Has anyone recovered the majority of their vision after having a Scleral Buckle.
I have lost most of my vision in my right eye due to a retina detachment. I think the Macula was affected?!
I am having the surgery tomorrow and am very concerned about this.
Any comments or experiences good or not..please and thank you!

It could be the gas was not effective, so he is going to put in a scleral buckle.
Most detachment repaired within a few day will regain all or most of the central vision.
From when the bubble was put in? That was done on January 20, the day after the retina detached. Scleral Buckle to go in tomorrow, January 29.
I think this is a big part of my concern! Has the Dr. not acted fast enough?
I guess I just have to have FAITH!
Thank you for your prompt response.
Sincerely,
Eyezz
How did you see the day after the gas bubble? If the macula was attached your vision should have be close to normal.
Dr. O.
After the bubble was put in, I could see my hand close up and distant lights.
I'm not feeling very hopeful for my vision recovery?!
In fact, I just found out today from the receptionist that I will be awake for the surgery?! How horrifying!!! I guess I don't have any other options?!
Thank you very much for the information.
I will let you know how things turn out.
Sincerely,
Eyezz
As far as vision return goes that depends on so many factors...and since your macula was involved the final visual outcome may not be as good as before. Remember that the scleral buckle will make you more nearsighted.
Good luck.
I am trying to stay positive but I am very worried.
I'll let everyone know how things turn out.
