Macular Pucker in my right eye and it sucks

[scho63]

Earlier this year I had a check up at the ophthalmologist to check on my retinal detachments and the latest with my eyes.

Had a right eye detachment in June 2002 and left eye two tears in May 2004.

I have terrible vision my whole life to add the rest of my ailments.

I was diagnosed with a macular pucker in my right eye. It has suddenly gotten worse to where reading sentences is wavy, distorted to small sections and looks to be moving. The only solution is a vitrectomy, where they cut open your eyeball and remove the scar tissue and floaters to hopefully correct your vision. It's a dangerous and can be very painful operation.

Has anyone here had/have one and what should I expect as time progresses?

Geez, that sucks! But, you gotta do, what you gotta do. Let me know if you need anything.

Got my first treatment today.

They numbed up my eye, then gave me a small needle with numbing agent in my eye, then more drops and then the doctor injected my eye with a drug to treat my occlusion and macular pucker. No pain just a nervous wreck before the shot.

Now have a headache and eye is bloody at the bottom where the injection was done.

Small price to pay to fix my eyes. Should see improvement in the next week.

I go back emd of August for next one.
