laser side effect

laser side effect

hello,
I had facovitrectomy surgery 6 months ago for removing excessive floaters in my right eye. I see ark like dark, flashing lights, vibrating, foggy area on peripheral of my vision. and it is very annoying. I always see that, my vision is blocked in the right side.I have some questions.
1) My surgeon says the dark area is the side effect of laser. It will diminish by time.
Is he true? does it diminish by time?

I have no experience with this. It's not something I recommend. The research into it has proven it doesn't help most poeple.

I knew that it was a risky operation. But my floaters were huge and covering all of my vision. I had to do it. I did not have any other choice.
Pls can you answer, if dark area is from lazer, does it lessen by time?
thanks

Since I have no experience with it I can't answer the question.  I only know what I read in medical journals and since a yag laser is used it would not be something that is expected.
