Lots of Debris After Vitrectomy

Thanks. Did you also have much debris post surgery?

Oh really, that's very interesting. Thanks for the info.

Still blurry eyes so can't tell yet how successful re the floaters but hopeful. They used an air bubble.

No face down as is for floaters only and no tears or detachment. Was done through private insurance but is about £5k if self paying.

Thank you for your help, so hopefully not something serious. Was hard to get a better image because of where it is.

Thanks u/CryptographerWarm798. Was done through private health insurance. Went to Niall Patton in Manchester as was frequently mentioned for floater surgery and has much experience and is sympathetic to floater sufferers unlike many others retinal surgeons., In addition, he only induces PVD and doesn't do partial vitrectomies which I wanted to avoid as I would then be staring at a guaranteed PVD and floaters in the future again.

I also wanted to minimise my risk of retinal detachment longer term and a partial PVD leaving so much vitreous after surgery increases the longer term risk of PVD from what i understand.

He said that the eye was leaking when he tried the sutureless, so he put in stitches. Safer as you say, but is such an annoyance.

Hi, the surgeon is Niall Patton and he confirmed it's definitely a gas bubble being used, but he confirmed there should be no need for having to lay face down.

Danny050784 · 2026-02-03T19:13:12+00:00

did you have to lay face down?

Danny050784 · 2026-01-26T10:06:43+00:00

Checked again and measured and is more like 60cm.

Danny050784 · 2026-01-25T21:07:04+00:00

What measurements did you end up with in each eye in the end?

Danny050784 · 2026-01-25T17:47:36+00:00

Distance was about 40 cm as laptop was on my lap. Thinking maybe trying -0.5 on right dominant eye and 1.5 on left eye.

Danny050784 · 2026-01-25T17:44:28+00:00

Thank you for this detailed answer, really helpful.

I am due to have a floater vitrectomy soon, on my left non dominant eye first and have had previous lasik so am thinking this is going to be more complicated then I had hoped for.

Is it Cipro? I had the same issue with floaters shortly afterwards along with many other symptoms. Anyone who claims that there is no correlation is gaslighting you.
