I'm sorry to hear of your eye condition. I had a retinal bleed in my left eye in 1984. I couldn't see the big E on the eye chart even. At that time laser surgery was the means of dealing with retinopathy as far as I knew in my case. I had 13 laser treatments on that eye. Doctor needed for the blood to settle to completely due the treatment because he couldn't see through the "fog". Sleeping sitting up was the process to make that happen. Also had treatments to my right eye as well. Currently have 20/40 vision in my left eye and 20/30 in my right.
Sorry I can't comment on your specific procedure. But I truly believe I would have been blind years ago without the treatment I received.
Best of luck to you.
