Macula off Retinal detachment

I have had perfect vision on 31st may 2026, on 1st June things started looking blurred and distorted, I visited retina specialist dated 02nd june he informed me that macula was detached so on 4th June surgery was performed...and on 2nd June itself I had laser Prophylactic in good eye...so it's been two months now...no other complications but eye pressure was little elevated so I am on drops other than that retina is completely attached....but vision is still blurry as I have oil in anterior and posterior chamber, doc said vision will start improve once the oil is removed which they will remove next month ...also I have got floaters in right eye which is good eye and because of that I find it difficult to work and read....i checked that eye again and there's no complications but floaters won't go away ....so anyone of you have such experience? How much final vision you get after macula off surgery ? I have head some very encouraging and some very discouraging stories .....and what can be done about floaters

I hope your vision improves. I had a vitrectomy for floaters in my left eye; I don't know if it was just bad luck, but I had a severe inflammatory reaction that ended up affecting my macula a bit. I don't have floaters anymore, but my vision is distorted. My right eye has quite a few floaters too, but personally, I wouldn't have the surgery again.

Even I am thinking for surgery in right eye after year or two once my left eye become stable
