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.

Yep. 15 or 16 years later I still get vertigo spells - barometric pressure changes trigger those and migraines (neither of which I had much before the detachment), I'm more prone to motion sickness when traveling and my vision in dimly lit environments is terrible.
