I am a 73 year old active male who was diagnosed a few years ago with a macula pucker in my left eye so at the time I was sent to a retina specialist who said he could do the surgery but most people wait until they can no longer drive, For the last couple of years I have been going to a younger retina specialist who (last June) said if it continued to decline at the same rate
she will recommend surgery this june and she would also remove the cataract at the same time and I would have to keep my head face down for a week. I went to my opthomologist who is also my age and the doctor who was pushing for the surgery when first discovered now says if it were him he wouldn't have the surgery so obviously I am confused and I still am able to drive , read watch tv as it hasn't effected my life style but it is getting slightly worse and I am wondering if I continue to wait maybe the surgery will have less chance of being successful ?
