Post Vitrectomy for Macular Hole
I just had a vitrectomy with ILM and spot welding on retina to prevent RD for a macular hole 10 days ago. I am a healthy 46 years old female. The bubble is getting smaller, and I can now see above it, but vision is hazy, like seeing through fog. Is this normal? If so, why is it like this and how long before vision becomes clearer?
A friend of mine just had this type of surgery and sent me an e mail today. It took 10 weeks and 5 days for the bubble to resolve. He has had a spectacular result. His surgery was done by Robert Wendel MD who developed this type of surgery. It takes a long time for the bubble to reabsorb and the macula to try and re-establish the nerve connections that were damaged by the ILM.
