@kathyoung You will see that I have moved your question into a discussion where members are currently discussing Vitrectomy, as it relates to Vitreomacular Tractionas. I did this so you could more quickly connect and get support. You will notice members like @susan2018 @bobbyo @ellen307 @dragl1959 have experience with this topic and may be a good resource for you. I also encourage you to scroll back through the comments to find previously shared suggestions.

Below I have linked another previous discussion regarding treatment that you may find informative.
- What was your treatment plan for a vitreous hemorrhage? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/what-was-your-treatment-plan-for-a-vitreous-hemorrhage/

May I ask if your provider told you it would resolve and if so, how long ago that was?

Thank you for your reply and for forwarding the appropriate links.

My retina specialist said there was a possibility it would resolve but he wanted to check it in three months,
which is coming up in February. If it is worse he told me it would mean surgery

I had a colon resection in late September (which is how I learned of this site - thank God!), so I am
not looking forward to any more surgery!

Thanks again for your prompt reply. I find this Mayo Clinic site Invaluable!
