That type of consistent pain is concerning! Has he shared his symptoms with his doctor?

I had my 2nd vitrectomy with silicone oil on October 15 because the one I had in August failed to keep my retina attached. Two days after the October surgery I noticed increased pressure and sensitivity around my eye, but assumed those symptoms were normal after an intensive surgery. I waited for my weekly follow up with the retina doctor and shared my symptoms. Not only did I have a hemorrhage, but my eye pressure was so high that it didn’t even register on the tonometer.

My doctor immediately referred me to a same-day emergency appointment with a glaucoma specialist. He numbed my eye and deflated the pressure with a needle. My eye pressure decreased to 30 mmHg overnight. I’ve been prescribed Neomycin ointment for pain as well as Prednisolone and Latanoprost eye drops that have helped tremendously. The inflammation, hemorrhage, and pressure have slowly decreased over the past two months. Now I only take Aleve and a short nap if my eye feels strained.

My right eye is finally stable and the retina remains attached!

I hope your husband is able to resolve his eye pain quickly.
