Lattice Degeneration and what to expect
Hello Doc's, sorry for bothering you again with questions, but I have to check with you this, as my doctors are little stingy with words, they are just saying, what's alright, it's normal, but nothing specific, so I want third opinion...
So here it goes:
I have lattice degeneration in the left eye, it is treated with laser, as there were some very small atrophic holes... Few months back (after laser) I started to see some very very small bright (white) spots, that I can only see if I look in the cloudy sky, and they are always "racing" really fast, sometimes if I look trough the window to the sky, I think I'm seeing same very small black spots, but when I come close to the window, they are turning to white.
Retina specialists checked my eye, and said it's normal...
They are really very small, nothing like floaters, so I'm little bit scared, I'm in fear every day, because I had retinal detachment because of the macula i guess (first there were wavy lines, so I think that was the reason for the detachment in the right eye), and the left eye was always alright, until the last year (lattice and holes). So, can these tiny fast and furious "dots" be normal after laser, or what?
Oh yeah, and lots of times, mostly in the morning, when I stare at some objects and move my eyes, I can see ghost of that object, that is also because of the lattice?
Thank you once again in advance and kind regards from Croatia

Me again, you probably didn't see question about about ghosting...
"Oh yeah, and lots of times, mostly in the morning, when I stare at some objects and move my eyes, I can see ghost of that object, that is also because of the lattice?" is it normal for lattice degeneration, oh and sometimes at night, when I'm blinking, I can see some "black dot" only when blinking. I forgot to tell you that i have higher eye pressure in both eyes and I'm using Timalen 0.5 (Timalolum).
Thx again :)
