Vitrectomy and now size difference between eyes

[Gadget21]

I had a vitrectomy in my right eye on Nov 4 2011 for repair of a macular hole. and also had a catarct removed from this eye 2 years ago.  I also had a cataract removed in my left y in Oct 2011.   Now things in the right eye after the retina repair are smaller in the right eye than left eye.  The retina Dr didn't say anything about this condition. My vision is about 20/40 in retina repaired eye and 20/30 in left eye.  Any thought on this problem!

Given the amount of time since your surgery it is likely the image will always be "different" than normal vision. However the brain makes adjustments so that its not usually something you're aware of unless you go looking through just that eye. Discuss with your surgeon.

Thanks for your quick response.  I'm 52 years old.  Do you think this wll get better over time, since it has been about 12 weeks since the vitrectomy.  My macular hole was about 1 week old before the vitrectomy.  Thanks again

It is so common after macular hole surgery its the usual outcome. It is widely discussed in many posts here. Image looking smaller is called micropsia, larger is macropsia, distorted is metamorphopsia.
