My vitrectomy was on October 17th. It has been about six weeks since the procedure. I have been tying to make it a point to keep the operated eye open and not get into the habit of closing it much, in hopes that this will help rehabilitate it through use and also, possibly, help the brain adjust to it.
Is there a danger in not closing the eye or wearing a patch and exposing it to excessive light? Also, my pupil is still dilated, so extra light is getting in. Is there a danger to any of this?
