Might well be central serous retinopathy. Get a second opinion from another retina surgery ASAP.

Mitch,

I think you might want to get a second opinion.  (I am not a doctor, but I had the same symptoms that you are describing, and was diagnosed with a macular hole.  The good new is that I had an operation to correct the condition.)

Your best bet might be to go to Google Images and find an Amsler grid.  Then look at the grid through your affected (left) eye.  If the lines on the grid become wavy or distorted, and the little dot in the middle disappears, I would definitely go to an opthamologist or retinal specialist for more advice.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
