Drops for pressure

[jan17]

I need clarification because on the 10th day of face down position for macular hole surgery I was able to see images and could read clearly above the gas bubble and was quite excited about being able to see. I had no concerns whatsoever during those 10 days. I went to the ophthamologist the next day who stated the pressure was 34 and I needed drops. With 2 doses of drops I had thousands of tiny floaters break loose and a veil formed in my sight. I was encouraged to continue using the drops and a few days later was diagnosed with uvietis and macular edema. After 3 months I have not had my vision return and continually feel that this maybe the cause of my loss of vision.
