What was your experience with vitrectomy eye surgery?

Yes, I initially had vitrectomy surgery in July 2024 for a macular pucker after about 8 months of drops, and watch and wait.

I had a gas bubble inserted and 1 week of face down.

all seemed to be going well until August when I had a detached retina in that eye, so I had vitrectomy #2 when oil was put in for 4 months.

vitrectomy #3 to remove the oil was in January 2025, luckily, facedown was not required!

Thanks for responding. I'm very worried about the face-down position. I'll try to get info from my surgeon's office, and if that's likely to happen, I think I will cancel the surgery. The pucker isn't so bad that I can't live with it.
