When I asked my Retina Specialist at my last appt. 1 year ago, if he could detect a PVD in my right eye with his OCT and visual exam...he said there was no way for him to tell whether or not I've been thru the PVD or if I was in the process of a PVD.
According to all of my reading on this forum, other Retina Specialists seem to be able to clearly tell their patients the status of a PVD . Is my specialist just out of touch with technique ?
I have another appointment with him next week and want to know what to ask again. I had ERM/Vitrectomy with him in my Left eye 3 years ago so I know that eye is full of saline , but I want to know about my right eye so that I know how careful I need to be this Summer with bouncing on tubes, etc.
Which part of the exam shows the PVD? His slit lamp exam or the OCT result?
Thank you !
