Sorry don't know. Try calling or email the macular society helpline? Or contact the clinic doc where you had the laser done. Best wishes going forward.

Dear Codeblack7,

It would be worth contacting your ophthalmologist via their secretary to discuss your concerns.

Kind regards,

Thank you for your response. I contacted the ophthomologist and they stated that it was normal. Since I have one good eye I get anxious if something is new. Sometimes it would be nice if you are told what is normal in the beginning. I am very thankful the vision that I have-thanks again.

Thank you. The macular society is a great help. I am not convinced how normal it is having black areas in my vision going from a lighted area to a darker room. The yag laser was 2 months ago. The clearer vision was great. The vision in that eye actually goes black changing locations in a room especially if bending over to pick something up from the floor. It only lasts a few seconds. I have lost central vision in my other eye. I get a little anxious about the good eye.

Thanks again
