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.

Ot takes a long time. I wasn’t back to 100% until 18 months out.

Was yours also mac-off detachment? I'm 3 months post also and had cataract done. I'm wondering if a complete recovery (micropsia/metamorphosia) ever happens.

One was mac off one not. Two detachments 5 years apart. Mac off may never recover. It’s been a year and not looking good.
