Retinal Detachment
Eye recently had scleral buckle surgery to reattach my retina. The optomoligist was very please with the result and indicated that there were no complications. This week i am going in for a new eye prescription. Its now been about 7 weeks since my surgery and my pupil is still dialated. It is slowly getting a little smaller but still noticably larger than my other eye. Is this normal and will my pupil be more dialated than my other pupil always ?
it might always be like that. buckle surgery is not nice to your eye, and there may be some damage to your pupillary musculature. dont worry too much about it, i doubt it is fixable...
Hi Lauren - I am no longer taking any drops. My pupil is still dialated. Is that normal seeral weeks after scleral buckle surgery?
Hi Ron...I also have been thru s/b...and found it took
several weeks for eyes to become normal again. I also found prescription changed a couple of times after surgery...you may want to wait a bit longer. Good luck.
