post operative retinal detachment
by xtremelit3, Mar 13, 2007 12:00AM
last week i had scleral buckle surgery to repair my detached retina. at the time i was seeing a bubble or fluid in my peripheral vision. even now after surgery, i still see the same fluid in my eye and it is affecting half of my vision. it is clear and i can see through it sometimes. the doctors told me that the fluid in my eye is draining well but i dont see any difference. will this fluid/bubble ever go away? by the way, they did not inject a gas bubble into my eye.

yes, it will go away. it will likely take months. not anytime soon.
