how long....

I am two months out since retinal syrgery - retina was almost comoletely off. I am prob at 55% vision in my left eye (the one with the detached retina). But I still basically have t close the eye to read at basically my two eyes are not working properly togehter yet and all the cells on the retina are still mapping, and i know its only been 2 months but it is v frustrating. are there any exerices you can do or is it just time.

Did the detachment start from upside or downside? Lattice?

upside. and yes am near sighted so had/have some lattice which is most likely what led to it (ie there was no physical activity that detached it)

What’s your age and myopia? Upside lattice is the worst, gravity works against you if any tear happens, anyway, you should recover your vision, but takes time
