Hi,

Looking for some info on gas bubble in eye after surgery and how you experienced it dissipating.

I'm seeing the bubble still though it seems clearer and bounces around a lot more had have like plastic film across the other part of the eye. Is this the bubble breaking up?

Thank you

The bubble will eventually dissipate. From my experience, it seems like it should go away faster than it actually does. :) There are lots of posts about dealing with the gas, basically just have patience.

You can also look up the half life of your particular gas to give a better idea about how long it will take.

You will notice less blockage of vision inferiorly as bubble gets smaller.
