Laser procedure for retina tear

Posted , 3 users are following.

  Two days ago I had laser treatment for a torn retina. I still have blurriness and black jelly like streams in my field of vision as well as tiny peppery black spots. Does anyone know how long this will last before it clears up?  I simply forgot to ask the doctor

    From your description it looks like it’s a floater. Floaters settle down in 2-3 weeks

       So it's normal for this not to clear up right away?  It is a black swirl that follows my field of vision.  This was present before the laser procedure as well as now which is why I am a little concerned  

      Thanks for your reply
