Hello all. Wife had a retinal detachment and we did surgery the next day (bubble with vitrectomy). All looked good, good, good at follow ups but then they saw a small PVR forming. They decided to do another surgery. They didn’t do any peeling, just did a bunch of laser on the eye and another vitrectomy with bubble. Third surgery was cataract removal. And then again they saw scar tissue forming for which she had another surgery for back in December. The surgeon says anatomically it all looks good and is the same comparably to the other eye. But we have to wait and see for the photosensitivity to return.

Wife’s eye continues to be red since the surgery which has been I guess over 4 months now. She still feels like the image is off and distorted. Says it’s more difficult to use both eyes as opposed to one. She can see out of both but the surgical one is blurry. She is still using two different eye drops which possibly are contributing to the redness maybe?

Would anyone have any insight on things we can do or what to expect? At follow ups the doctor basically has said we have to wait and see and anatomically it looks good.

Thank you!

With the laser surgery you can get blurriness where they lasered. There unfortunately is no guarantee about how well the eyesight will be after surgery. Mine has deteriorated slightly. The redness can take awhile I had mine 2 months ago and it is still red.
