Vitrectomy for cloudy vitreous and floaters

I had this procedure on both eyes. It is amazing how clear and bright everything is now. Just watching TV or reading is much more enjoyable. Driving at night had become very challenging, but now it is great! I do have dry eyes, but that could also have been from the cataract surgery. However, I would definitely take the dry eyes over the floaters any day! I would suggest that you use a highly rated, experienced ophthalmologist or a retina specialist. (I used a retina specialist.) This might help clear up your vision and prevent the dry eyes. Good luck! (I forgot to add that there are now some very good prescription drops for dry eyes. They have made a huge difference for me. )

Thanks Teacher502 for responding. That's encouraging. I've been putting off the vitrectomies because I don't want any long-term side effects. Maybe I'm being too nervous about that. I do have a reputable retina specialist in Boston. Did your doc say anything about long-term side-effects? Curious how long ago you had your vitrectomies?
