If you are having flashes, increase floaters, loss of field of vision or the vision suddenly worsened I would call the retinal eye MD tomorrow and try with all your might to get an emergency work in exam tomorrow.

In December, I had the YAG procedure done for a secondary cataract. 15 years ago, my retina detached and a Silicon buckle was put in. About 8 years ago, i had my first cataract surgery in that eye. Now i am experiencing loss of eyesight, 20-60 unable to correct, and a cloudiness. What do you think it may be? i have an appointment with the retinal physician next week. Please help me. Thanks
Has anyone had the dr do surgery for teh capsule and then decide it is the vitreosus? I was very confused after thinking that problem could at least be resolved. Tooooooo many problems with the eyes can not be explained , Lets hope they are researching as I type this.
My grandaughter has devic disease and has little sight due to optic nerve damage. Please do research doctors. She is 12 . I am 66 . We all need research and help.
Maybe yes maybe no I don't think anyone can tell you for sure.

Yes, I know it would not, but he did do a yag laser twice on that eye to
try and open the capsule. I was just wondering if the vitrerous would possible clear on its on with time.
20/30 vision would not justify a vitrectomy.

The Dr I saw Monday is a retina surgeon at Mayo Clinic, in Jacksonville, Florida.He does not think any surgery is necessary ,because my vision is 20 /30 in that eye on the charts.(with glasses) My problem is that cloud makes me very nervous. and I was so sure that the Yag would clear it up.
If it should get worse, I will ask for another opinion.
Thanks for the answer.
I would get one or two other opinions. If its in the vitreous a vitrectomy might help. See at least one retina surgeon. Find one near you at www.aao.org
