help-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?

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.

 

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.

 

ok well let me tell u exactly how this came to be
a little while before i got the surgery i didnt realize i had a
detachment, it was on the upper part of my eye (thats what the doc
says) and it only blacked out the left part (right next to the nose)
of my eye, so i didnt really notice it because i never really closed
one eye just to check whats going on. but there would be some distored
vision. then went for a eye exam where they told me my retina might be
detached, and it was so thats when i got the bubble. the doc says it
could be most likely because of the bubble, but cant say anything yet.
the bubble is near the retina, but not on it.

and oh yeah, im glad my vision atleast survived.

 

ps. thank you all for your support

 

Eventually your central vision will get better. How much better? No ones
knows at this point. But, as others said, you should have positive attitude.
Wavy vision is infinitely better than no vision.

 

yes. agreed
hopefully it will
thanks everyone
