Hi. Thanks for answering me. He is in good health so no health issues. We already saw the dr after cataract surgery and he thought it would be better by now. The cataract was big and dr knew about the pucker. The dr is also wondering about the drops after surgery. Jim’s eye was still red. He reduced the2 of the drops. Hopefully this will clear up. I will try to keep you informed.

I have a macular pucker that formed when my vitreous gel pulled away from my retina during posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). It doesn't interfere with my vision. When they do interfere, macular pucker is often corrected by surgery. I don't understand how cataract surgery could have disrupted the macular pucker on the retina unless there is some tugging of the vitreous gel on the retina during the surgery. That would be a good question for the doctor. Is it possible, the blurriness due to the pucker was there but can now be noticed after the surgery to remove the cataract?
