blurred vision

Anyway,a couple of months after the treatment my right (good) eye started to get floaters so I got on the net and found out I've my retina's blood vessels have probably ruptured.
My question is will it go away by itself or will I need surgery ? I'm planning a visit to my doctor next week, but has anyone had this problem ?

I can relay my experience with my daughter (type one diabetic) and he experience with diabetic retinopathy. She had several bleeds in her eye and it got to the point where she was blind in the one eye. Her doctor preformed a Vitrectomy on her eye. This removes the vitrious fluid from the eye and replaces it with a saline solution, taking away the floaters, blood and everything blurring her vision. It works.

Unfortunately she had another small bleed about two weeks after the Vitrectomy and had to live with it until her eye cleared the saline solution on it's own. Took about a year but it did clear.

Hope this helps,

    I got the exact same thing. About 3 months into tx my good right eye got a lot of floaters (annoying) and my vision also got a little blurry. It is now 8 weeks post tx and the blurry vision is either gone or i am used to it. I still have the floaters though.
    One thing I have noticed lately is my eyes used to get very dry. It seemed that bright lights and watching TV really bothered them. It caused a very dry or burning sensation. That doesn't happen anymore. I used to have to put my glasses on (anti glare coating on them) to stop the burning or dryness. I don't need to do this any more. I can watch TV or go to the movies without my eyes bothering me.

I also have floaters and they have gotten a bit worse during tx.  
I had a good exam pre-tx and the eye doc said if they interfer with my
vision to come back.  I have also noticed my vision is a bit worse, but again
they say it happens on tx. It is a bit more blurry.
Go to your ophthalmologist (Not optometrist) and get another
exam just to be sure...

I had three retinal hemorrhages during treatment.  My ophthalmologist said they were not serious and I should keep treating.  You should get your own opinion from a good doctor.

I see that you are 60.  This sort of thing happens to many of us when we reach that age.  It's usually a vitreous detachment - look it up.  You ought to see an ophthalmologist, but it's rarely anything to worry about.  After a while, the floaters sort of float to the bottom and you won't notice them.  I've had them for years.
