Hi all, as if COVID wasn't bad enough (no swimming, no anything!), my retina detached 2 days after everything closed down here. I can't lift for 4 months, but per the surgeon, swimming is fine. (2 months post surgery). Of course, pools are closed here, but hopefully not for much longer. Has anyone had this surgery and if so, did your retina detach after you resumed swimming? I am terrified. I was lucky to catch is early and have a good surgeon, but suffered significant vision loss. Apparently, the retina can detach again.
It was another vitrectomy with oil. The pain was really only from so much work on the eye in a short period of time. First victrectomy was fine. The buckle was horrible.......I think he used two, he indicated a large buckle, and I think he said "doubled belted," though the phrasing seemed to be delivered with a little humorous intent. Anesthesia this time around was a bit worse, more nausea. This time was also in the adult hospital, rather than children's, due to scheduling. She liked the bedside manor of the children's side much better.
