Vitrectomy
The surgeon ,who I have never seen, will phone me in January, but it would be interesting to hear from anyone who has had a
vitrectomy
for an epiretinal membrane.

Surgery day
OMG, after what seems a long wait my
vitrectomy
is scheduled for tomorrow. I have to be in hospital at 12:15 !!!!! I’m excited and anxious all at the same time. Relieved that the macular hole is going to be repaired.

Still waiting!
How long have you had to wait for
vitrectomy
surgery? My journey started in January with a referral to the hospital following a check with my optician.

If it’s not one thing, it's another! Update
Hopefully getting a date for the
vitrectomy
(macular hole repair in my eye). Not sure if that’s a further step forward or false hope. Also had a copy letter from Gynaecology unit following the hysteroscopy/biopsy appointment last week.

Do I or don’t I??
Particularly if they know that I’m due a
vitrectomy
for my eye. Up until beginning of last month I’ve been home-working full-time. My ‘employer’ terminating said employment at probation end.

partial thickness macular hole
Just wondering if anyone has been offered
vitrectomy
surgery for a partial thickness macular hole. I had fairly good vision recovery after
vitrectomy
for a full thickness macular hole in my left eye. I now have a partial thickness hole in my right eye.

thin eye tissue
just had my second
vitrectomy
in 6 months. during the op I could hear the surgeon say the retina was so thin a few times. I’ve just read on the eye drops that steroids cause thinning of eye tissue. is there anything I can do/eat to strengthen the retina? Many Thanks

Par Plana Vitrectomy Operation.
On my last visit I was told that I would be eligible for a par plana
vitrectomy
which would correct the partially dislocated IOL that was implemented for cataract removal in 2017. The pseudoexfoliation syndrome that I have has causes this problem, giving me a wobbly lens and a glare.

vitrectomy for floater in central vision with high myopia
Please anyone out there with
vitrectomy
procedure. I had a small tear five days ago and my RS laser it but now I am left with this big floater that’s in my central vision very blurry and uncomfortable. He said your brain will adjust to it but I don’t think so.

Some help needed.
Am 44 and been diagnosed with glaucoma after a steroid reaction after a
vitrectomy
and the pressure in my left eye going to 55!! The outside glare is terrible but indoors I am relatively normal. I just need some advice in general about what to do and how to stop feeling so rubbish!

macular hole
I previously have had
vitrectomy
op on same eye. After cataract surgery last year I noticed the wavy lines etc again. I rang Liverpool who had done the
vitrectomy
op. I kept getting put through to someone then cut off then someone would ring me back, they didn't, then told to email, no response.

Macular hole
Although I have had a
vitrectomy
op 3 years ago I don't know much about my latest diagnosis. I knew everything was deteriorating again and emailed and rang over and over my main hospital who did the first op but they never responded.
