Vitrectomy/ERM Surgery post-op pics

[homecrafter]

I am trying to post a photo of my eye 3 days post Vitrectomy/ERM peel surgery.  
I was hoping that someone could let me know if it looks like I need to be concerned, or if this looks like it falls within the "normal" range.

1) Day after Surgery:  White cornea was almost completely filled with blood both sides of Iris.
2) 2nd day post surgery:  The one side of cornea blood subsided mostly, but got a bit bulbous.
3) 3rd day (today) :  The bulbous area seems to have filled a little more with edema (?) and is bulging in two spots.

My question is:  
Does anyone have any shared experiences as to whether this is to be expected ?
I cannot find any helpful websites with photos of what is to be expected, so I am a little concerned.

If anyone can share their experience or opinions, I would GREATLY appreciate it !!!

Good God!  I wish my eye had looked like that 3 days after surgery!!  Mine was only opened a slit and was totally red!!  I only had a minimal amount of blood in my tears for the first and second day.  Never had any kind of "bump" that I noticed.

Hope you are dealing with this well and keeping your spirits up!

The blood on the outside of the eye is not a problem and is almost always the case. The "bump" is not common. It could represent swelling "chemosis" of the conjunctiva, I would call the surgeon and ask about that.
