But now I am so dizzy and I have a strange feeling, I see the vertical line is not streat. I feel something is in my eye. Is possible this symptoms with time will dizapear?

Hello
It seems from the history that you have undergone retinal detachment surgery. Following surgery you are having distorted vision and dizziness.
These symptoms are usually because of macular edema secondary to surgery. These symptoms will resolve as the edema caused by surgery decrease, hence there is no need to worry. But you need to attend follow up as advised by your surgeon to prevent any complications.
Thank you
