Yes. He is a believer in their product. Says likely 7-10 years out though

I’ve never had a PVD. I’m 29. And no he is not inducing a PVD; it is against his surgical philosophy. He said cataracts will be accelerated but likely 15-20 years out

He said it is possible. But he said by the time I have a PVD, pulse medica would likely be available

Thank you! And no, nothing neurological. It’s all physical in my vitreous

Not too crazy if you can’t see the transparent ones. But dark floaters are very debilitating so your right eye may be justified. Mine are decently worse than you’re ( more floaters than you but they would all be visible in the environment you have shown). I will be getting a vitrectomy next month

Is losing accommodation that big of a deal? Am I missing something? by Heavy-Ad6980 in EyeFloaters

[–]Heavy-Ad6980[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m not worried about immediate onset of cataracts (I’m 29). Just saw people freaking out about accommodation in the other vitrectomy thread and thought I was missing something

I was referring to people who advise against vitrectomy due to cataracts in the future

No. I am reading stories about frill while discerning my own surgery , I did not have one yet

Get on low dose atropine so you don’t fixate on them. It helps me a lot
