I had glaucoma surgery that went wrong. Before surgery I had vision from just below centerline, to top of eye. I also had peripheral vision to left, top and right. My only vision loss was below the centerline. The surgery was to preserve the rest of the eye. Eye pressure was only about 19.
After the surgery, pressure was too low at 2, and within a week I had chorodial hemmoraging. Then a week later got a retinal detachment. Both times I had emergency surgery to fix it. But almost a year later, my vision is essentially gone, in that eys. But I still have some vision in the same places as before. But it's essentially uyseless. It is like a camera where the appature is open wide, and the vision is all washed out. No contrast.
My vision is very dim. It's as though I was looking through a tissue. All white, with slight dim vision in paces I used to be able to see.
I have not been able to get my Dr. to explain why this symptom. The vision is not gone, it's just not bright. And the way it is, it's useless.
Can someone explain what might be preventing my vision from coming back? Or more to the point, what is causing the vision to be so dim?
Is there any hope? It's almost a year, and no change. That sounds like permanent. But it's the fact that I still have some vision, in the same places I used to have vision, that makes be believe there must be something to fix this. If it's like a cataract, that is fixable. But this isn't a cataract. Could it be a partially healed retina separation? Would that be fixable? What causes good vision to be dim vision, with what I've been through?
Thanks
