side effects of lasering retina

hello,
I had facovitrectomy surgery 4 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. He used laser in the right side of eye.  It is not dysphotopsia. It will diminish by time. Can he be right?

and second question.
2) how can ı be sure that it is not negative dysphotopsia. The dark region is always there at any light situation.

Negative dysphotopsia is on the temporal side (toward you ears). This would be due to the IOL.  It would be unusual for you to see this after laser unless they put a lot of spots.  The laser would have to have been done to your nasal retina (toward your nose).

Thanks. Dark area is in the temporal side.if it is from lazer, does it diminish by time?
