Anyone deal with tons of gas bubbles? They move around anywhere you look and cover the surface with what looks like hundreds or thousand even of small some clear some black bubbles? Ive been to the eye doctor so many times now and they say my eyes are healthy. I really don't know what to do it is ruining my life.

Did you have a gas bubble put in your eye? Dud you have any floater residue in the beginning? Had m vitrectomy last Friday.

Not your fault Sir, just wanted to mention too many commercials!

Thank you for sharing. I am hoping my surgery goes well and I have no problem.

How are you doing now that it has been 3 years since your surgery? I am getting mine on 9/11/24.

Mayve you never have cataracts ❤

Wow amazing ❤

I’m 80 and have had Cataract and Vitrectomy this year (2024). I had a “wrinkled Retina” in my right eye, which I’ve had for a period of time which caused the vision in that eye to be a little distorted. I didn’t really notice it until I looked a one of the line graphs up close. The lines are a little wavy in the center of the chart. So, I had both Cataracts done, and the Vitrectomy surgery the following month. Like the man says, do your research! Find the good doctors, and you’ll be fine.

❤

I am currently 24 years old. I have been suffering from floaters since I was 19. Would there be any problems with me having surgery?

Hello, how are you, I have watched your videos, and I would really like to know how you are now.

I am meeting a doctor Monday to discuss this surgery. So glad to see your eye isn't blood shot and you are happy with your results. I tried the YAG laser however with a multifocal cataract lens it's just not possible to get a good enough view into the eye to get the mess cleaned up to par.

Did u have diabetes when u did the victrectomy

Nice of you to post this. I will have FOV next week!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. May I ask how long did it take before you could go back to work, and driving? Thanks again.

Which states in Australia perform Vitrectomy surgery??

I am also with Vitrectomy, Where did you have your surgery and how much would it cost please let me know, any other place country does Vitrectomy surgery. thank you 14:07 😊

I had the vitreous removed from my right eye and had saline to replace it. Floaters are all gone.....BUT....that gave me a quick cataract. My vision turned real dark a few months after that surgery. I then had to have the cataract removed where my cataract surgeon didn't do a very good job. I think he replaced my lens with one that didn't match the left eye. When I look at an object with my left eye that is 10 feet away...the same object with my right eye that had the cataract is 5 feet away. I complained to my doctor and he said I would get used to it. Well, guess what? 5 years later and it's still the same and I can't see right. He said he can't replace the lens. Eye strain 24/7 now.

Hi, what about the elevated eye pressure which you said you had when you did surgery. How is it now?

I had a vitrectomy due to recurring bleeding in my eye after a retinal tear. The tear could immediately be fixed with a laser treatment. However in the months following, a blood vessel next to the repaired retinal tear would rupture again and again, usually after exertion. The blood slowly cleared after the first two ruptures but no longer cleared larger blood accumulation after subsequent ruptures. So similar occlusion like in the case of floaters really disturbed my vision. The Vitrectomy cleared this up and during the operation they could laser the leaky vessel so that bleeding would not recur. However in conjunction with the vitrectomy surgery I elected to also have my natural lens replaced with a high quality Zeiss lens to avoid a second operation later for later cataract surgery. As I had already required age related reading glasses the new lens actually improved my vision in medium and far ranges, and it improved at closer range as well. So in many cases if you already need glasses and cataracts is in your future I opted to include lens replacement at the same time as lens replacement would improve my vision even before cataracts developed. As I will likely later need cataract surgery in the other eye in the future a near sighted lens replacement in this eye can then free me from needing reading or driving glasses in the future. so I wouldn’t say that having cataract surgery reduces your current vision it can actually improve it quite substantially with proper high-quality lens selection. I’ve spoken to many people many who have had lens replacements which significantly improved their vision such that many no longer required glasses thereafter.

Gee man, get to the story.

Thank you

I'll have it in a couple of weeks for an injury, and have the fluid full of blood and can't see because of this. Technically, why vitrectomy will have, as a side effect, a good healthy cataract to do not be good anymore, after some time?

I’m ver glad this went well for you. Are you in the US? If so, is there a particular Doctor you recommend?

I have been using low dose atropine for my floaters…it’s been ok, but not a cure.

I disagree about optometrists; good ones care and have good knowledge about eye health in general. I agree with you about laser vitreolysis, as with you, after three sessions, it did not work at all for me. Worse, the dummy wound up putting a hole in my natural lens. A PVD (Posterior Vitreous Detachment) several years ago left me with severe floaters. As I watch your video, I am also one day past vitrectomy and lens replacement. It’s a bit painful and a major pain in the keister, getting around on one eye, but I’m hopeful that it will be worth it! Although I can barely see through the eye now, I can tell that the sky is much bluer!😊 I would not recommend vitrectomy without lens replacement.

Fantastic video packed with excellent info. Thank you!

Thank you very much for the update! Could you elaborate on the 'eye stroke' incident that you had? It happened at random? Did you continue to see any visual disturbances for a while or just 1 or 2 times? Did the doctor find evidence of that in your eye? I ask because I had something very similar with no final conclusion as to the cause. However, an minor eye stroke was suspected as a possibility. So I'm interested to hear a bit more about that as well.

How come you don't have your head down? Thanks

I have been suffering from 4 years but i can't effort the vitrectomy 😢😢😢😢😢😢

I appreciate your videos. I have suffered with floaters for 30 years. I'm now 69. Just had cataract surgery with no problems. You're right about doctors and others telling you, just ignore them. Mine have become clouds that float by and block my vision. You give me courage to take the next step.

I just had cataract surgery and it went very well no problems but soon after I had capsulotomy so I had YAG surgery on both eyes for floaters now I’ve found out that the floaters are viscous floaters which have to be removed thru Vitrectomy surgery to remove the viscous floaters.

Did you have any problems with retina before the surgery? Thank you 🙏

Hello! I’m 27, I already developed cataract and 2 months ago I also got floaters:( I’m really scared and don’t know what to do :(

Did you have to stay face down for any length of time?

Pretty remarkable your doing well. What are the stitches for. I am to have this operation and there was no mention of stitches?

How much % your non operated eye floaters cover your vision? I'm thinking to have victrectomy in one eye so maybe i could be able to adapt other eye floaters

How many floaters did you have?

Thanks. I am only fourteen and I started having multiple floaters randomly in my left eye. Do you know any way (besides vitrectomy) that can lower or help the floaters temporarily?

Hello how many foaters did you have in your right eye?

7:08 I am having a vitrectomy on 3/19/24 and I have so many floaters I also feel it has reduced the quality of my life. I am OK with the cataract. I hope I have the luck you have but if I don’t, I’m still OK with that. Your videos have been very inspirational. Thank you for doing them.

Thank you for all the honest personal information....

do u have zero floaters now

thanks for your video, do you notice a frill floater that is very thin thread and usually moves at peripheral arch of eye ball？can u describe any pity or missing point of this surgery？

May I ask about your age? I am 51, and today I was advised by the eye doctor to wait with the surgery till I’m older.

Thank you for sharing

Thanks for uploading your update video - im going to be having a vitrectomy in the summer and watching videos like yours has been helpful to understand the process and your experience.

Had this done 5 weeks ago My next day vision was like yours little blurry That was because of the dilation of the eye from the surgery After 4 days it was as good as normal I only needed 2 drops, not the pressure drops Good job

Did you ever talk to the floater dr based in Texas, I've been thinking about going to see him but wanted to know if you visited him or not

Please can you say who your surgeon was and where they are located? Thank you
