transparent veil

transparent veil

I have a semi transparent veil in the center of one eye.  that eye has glaucoma.  I've been operated on three times to relieve IOP, most recent on Sept. 2.  First op was SLT, second, trabeculectomy, and the third was lasering to open some of the sutures from trabeculectomy.  Pressures now at around 12.
My concern is the semi transparent veil in the center of that eye.  Is that from the glaucoma?  I was led to understand that glaucoma is more typically to show damage to the periphery of the field and not the center.  OCT has ruled out the macula, altho the retina specialist has me on Xibrom to reduce minor edema at the macula.
Can the glaucoma manifest into such a semi transparent veil?  The veil impedes my central vision, but I can see objects 'thru' it altho the veil seems to cause flickering of entering light.  Because this veill moves with my eye, I have concerns it's not just floaters.  And I do have plent of them.  Help!  Is the veil due to glaucoma or some other condition?

Likely possibillities vitreous floater located near the surface of the retina OR a paranasal scotoma (blind spot) due to glaucoma. Ask your ophthalmologist and the two of you look together at your most recent visiual fields.

Glaucoma starts on the periphery but it works its was in.
