I am a healthy 65 year old male with no diabetes, hypertension or overweight condition. I had a retinal detachment surgery 8 years ago, Viteractomy with scaral buckle. Last September 2010, I had a 'macular pucker' surgery. The surgeon commented that the pucker was tough but he was able to remove it successfully. After the surgery, a black egg shaped opaque spot obstructed the central vision but I could read one word at a time thru a wedge shaped opening at one end of the opaque spot with a vision of 20/50. Starting May 2011, the small opening started to become blurred and now it is completely closed and I am unable to read or recognize faces with this eye. I must point out that I was on drops like Pred Forte, Lotamax, accular and combigane as recommended by the doctor for the whole year. The OCT scans are perfectly normal (validated by another retina specialist also). The doctor says he has no idea why my vision has deteriorated rather than improve over this one year period. I must also point out that I did stop my drops for about a month when another surgeon suggested that only nature would improve the condition. This was around June this year.
My question to you is: What is happening with my eye? Will I ever be able to read with this eye?
