do people ever get back to running post surgury
like 5 miles 3 times per week?
all kinds of vision are possible 3 weeks out. it depends on many factors: the degree of post op inflammation, the type and location of the detachment, etc. i'l tell you the same thing i tell all buckle people: dont expect to see the same as you did before the surgery. buckles usually cause distortion even if you achieve 20/20 acuty. it also usually changes your Rx.
most eyes that have had reattachment surgery have significant floaters. thats probably your "shadow".
when do people et surgery after reattachment? it of course depends on the patient and the eye, but 6 weeks is a good estimate.
