I have a macular fold which is making my vision very blurry . Will this get worse in time? I've been told the surgery is not always successful and that one has to keep the head down for some time after surgery. I have had an RK followed by corneal replacement and recently cataract (intraocular lense) surgery in that eye. Could any of these procedures have caused the macular fold?

I just went thru this procedure for Macular Hole in my left eye I was<br />
devastated when the eye doctor told me as I knew nothing except hold my head<br />
down for two weeks<br />
<br />
I did research and found you can rent a chair and I did , best decision I<br />
made I was able to watch tv and every hour I could get up but head to chin<br />
and eat go to bathroom.<br />
<br />
It actually went by fast. My surgery was successful and and i have two more<br />
weeks to go till the gas bubble is gone I returned to work after the two<br />
weeks and all is ok.<br />
<br />
The best info I can give you is it is not as stressful as I thought and you<br />
will be fine.<br />

Thank you. This information was very helpful.

Thank you Sue. I hope your vision continues to improve. My doctor seems to think my vision isn\'t bad enough yet to require surgery (20/40 with correction) but I can\'t read well at all. The fold (hole?) is only in one eye, thankfully. What was your vision like before surgery?
