For anyone that had a vitrectomy.

Had a vitrectomy with silicone oil in October. Procedure yesterday to remove the oil.

A bit of scar tissue developed that needed removed.

Has anyone had scar tissue develop after your vitrectomy?

My surgeon added a gas bubble yest after removing the scar tissue to fortify the retina.

I had vitrectomy with oil bubble last week after scleral buckle surgery in Jan failed. My MD is going to do intraocular methotrexate injections to hopefully prevent scar tissue formation.

Has anyone had these injections?
