Suggest Treatment For A Defect In The Vision
Hi,
My brother had a RD surgery (Macula off) on 28th January 2011 with Scleral buckling procedure with C3F8 gas bubble (which has gone now). His vision started showed symptoms of improvement after 3 weeks of the surgery but Doctor said it will take up to 2- 3 months to get the vision stabilised. Doctor also said the RD surgery was successful with Retina attached correctly. However, my Brother is having concerns with-
a) Wavy or deformed vision of the objects which he started noticing since two weeks of surgery which still continue to exist after 4 weeks. What will happen to this?
b) Floating objects in the vision which keeps moving when the eye lid moves. What will happen to these? Will they settle out?
c) There appears a difference in the vision between day and night . While day vision is gradually improving, my brother still have not seen much improvement in the night vision. Any reason for this?. Will this improve when he gets new lenses?

Hello
Welcome to Health Care Magic.
I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.
I reviewed your history. Please find the answers below.
1. Wavy or deformed vision is because of macular edema following retinal detachment surgery. This will improve as the macular edema decreases.
2. The floaters are because of vitreous opacities and gradually they will subside.
3. The difference in the vision will improve with refraction and correction.
Hence I advice you yo continue treatment as advised by your doctor and not to worry.
Thank you
