Vitrectomy corrected question


I had to have a Vitrectomy surgery on May 26 were the Doctor inserts a gas bubble in you eye. You must remain in a face down position for TWO weeks. By being face down the bubble applies pressure to the macular keeping it In place until it heals. The bubble stays in your eye for two months until it is absorbed. Right now everything is blurry but as the bubble gets smaller your goal is to see better. It has been two weeks since my surgery and from the first day I have seen two concentric grey circles in the center of my eye which stays in the center of my vision even when I move my eye in a different direction (the circles move with the eye so they stay in the center).
I sometimes can see the image with my eye closed. The image covers the actual image I should be seeing like Letters in words will be hidden by the conentric  circles.
The doctor is puzzled and even looked through the bubble to make sure hole was healed and it is.  She said everything looks great but does not know what the image is.

You mentioned it does not move but it moves with my eye. If I look to the left it moves with my eye but is always in the center.

That could only come from your macula. It could be swelling, inflammation, it could be the edges of the sealed hole.
