Still researching everything I can about this upcoming (if I ever get the nerve) Vitrectomy/Macular peel for my recently discovered macular pucker in left eye. Left eye progressed rather aggressively (past 6 or so months?) with severe scar tissue covering my macula. Results are 20/200 vision non-correctable with lens and blurred out spots with depth perception type symptoms (eyes not working together as well when walking and looking forward).
Question:
Pros and Cons of both ?
General anesthesia or Local ? I don't think I can go thru with the surgery with Local, but I've read conflicting info:
1) With "general", does the Dr. still do an eye numbing injection thus risking possible other eye issues?
2) With "general", does one risk REM during surgery ? Does one risk coughing or vomiting after surgery, thus increasing the risk of eye pressure ?
I've asked my Dr. so many questions already that I'm trying to do my own research on this one to be prepared for the fast decision I'll have to make in the surgery room.
CAN ANYONE PLEASE GIVE ME SOME DETAILED FACTS ON THIS DECISION???
P.S. Should I go thru with the surgery or leave well enough alone ?
