I had a vitrectomy on Nov 11th and as of right now being 12 weeks after, i still have blurred/double vision in that eye. Was told it could take 6 months to a year for full vision to come back. I had the long lasting gas bubble in my eye from Nov 11th till Jan 9th. Had to be face down to the first 3 weeks and can get up for 10 minutes every hour. Sleep face down till Jan 7th. I got back to the doctor March 7th so if i remember i will check back in to see how you are doing and to update my progress. Hope it all goes really good for you.

So sorry that you have had to endure such discomfort. This vitrectomy is not for the faint of heart. I am just 3 days in. No double vision and I feel very lucky that no gas bubble was needed. Headache, very blurry vision and spatial disorientation so far. Thank goodness I have my husband to be closeby; this is a feeling of vulnerability I have never experienced in my adult life and I am a healthy 67 y/o very active person. I wish you a full recovery, no matter how long it takes. Please send an update to this group!
