Shimmering in peripheral vision after retinal hole YAG laser

Hello,

Anyone who can help will be really appreciated.

Two months ago I had YAG laser in my right eye for two retinal holes in my peripheral part of the retina. The next day I had shimmering in my far out peripheral vision which I need to concentrate to see it.

A month ago I went for a follow up to my eye doctor. He made a really thorough examination and found everything ok. The problem is I forgot to mention this specific symptom as I had so many other questions about retinal holes, floaters etc.

My next schedule is next month but I just wanted to know if this is normal and if it will heal or if it will be a permanent slight shimmer.

many thanks
