Medical Forum / General / Vision / September 2007help-after retinal detachment treatment problems occur
hi everyone, i recently had a retinal detachment i went to the doc and the doc put a gas bubble in my eye and so far its fine-there is no black spots. the bubble is still in there but i still have one problem. I have wavy central vision. Can anyone help and tell me why this is? http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/medint/ovs/pc010522_pdt/fs_1_macular %20problem.files/image010.jpg sorta looks like this but i don't know if its me but about two days ago (as the doc said, i may see small black dots-which is scar tissue from the retina), i saw some of that tissue and my central vision seemed to be better, but it could be just my head messing around with me. anyone know why im getting this wavy central vision and if its from the gas bubble or the scar tissue? thank you ps. i dont have any health problems other than a little bit of high cholestrol.

I am only an amateur but sounds like the central retina is distorted in some manner caused by tearing or pulling of this area during the detachment or reattachment process or by something happening during the healing process. The inner most area of the retina where your central vision exists is very very small. mms in size. Swelling and scaring could cause this effect i would guess and therefore i would reason in time it could reduce. Potentially since your mind knows this distortion is not real it could in time compensate for it. > Potentially since your mind knows this distortion is not real it could > in time compensate for it. Metamorphopsia is real, not imaginary. -MT On Sep 22, 8:46 pm, djrel...@gmail.com wrote: > hi everyone, > i recently had a retinal detachment [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > ps. i dont have any health problems other than a little bit of high > cholestrol. If the macula was off you may end up with a pucker in that area and some wavyness to the vision. However, as the alternative would have been no vision at all, I think you would agree that wavy clear vision is better than no vision. Once the bubble is absorbed you may find the vision improves further. > On Sep 22, 8:46 pm, djrel...@gmail.com wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > is better than no vision.

No ones knows at this point. But, as others said, you should have positive attitude. Wavy vision is infinitely better than no vision. > <djrel...@gmail.com> wrote in message > >> If the macula was off you may end up with a pucker in that area and [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > knows at this point.
