11 weeks post vitrectomy for detached retina.
I am 11 weeks post vitrectomy for detached retina caused by an injury. I was moving some furniture today and became very tired. For the rest of the day I have been noticing floaters...probably 1 every 30 minutes that would appear and eventually float down. I was told at 8 weeks that I was under no restrictions. Could I have damaged something or did possible inflammation occur due to tne lifting of furniture? I have no curtain in peripheral and I don't believe I have seen any flashes. All I can say is my eye feels swollen or full. Thank you!
Your symptoms don't sound alarming. This is what would be worrisome: lots of floaters in a cloud or appearing like soot, loss of central or peripheral vision, lots of bright flashes, severe pain, severe redness, severe sensitivity to light, soreness to touch. If you are not back to normal tomorrow you would probably feel better at least calling your surgeon's office.
