Left eye has a lot more vitreous hemorrhaging. Part of retinopathy treatment is they go in with laser and tack the back of the eye together. It is supposed the help the eye clean up any vitreous hemorrhaging, but also causes some. My left eye has gone nuts with it. At one point because of it my vision in that eye was 20/100. Now it is down to 20/60. If it doesn't clean itself up enough they will replace the vitreous fluid in my eye. Said they would do my cataracts when that stuff was cleared up because the shots I've been getting and laser causes the cataracts to grow and get worse. Also replacing the vitreous fluid stimulates cataract growth. Told me whether there is a problem with vitreous hemorrhaging seem fairly random.
Said they would try to get my right eye seeing as good as they can to give my left eye as long as possible to see if it clears. They are really hesitant to do the vitreous fluid replacement as it is actually opening up the eye and will go blind if any infection gets in.
Just got back because was having what looked like vitreous hemorrhaging in the far right peripheral vision of the surgery eye. Doc said while it wasn't normal of cataract surgery is was okay for having any vitreous hemorrhaging in that eye. Just to keep tabs on it and let him know if it gets worse. My right eye tested 1 almost 2 steps on the eye chart better today than it did yesterday. Said the inflammation and soreness would be gone by my appointment next week and we could see how good my eye really got.
