Still seeing flashers after Scleral buckle surgery and which eye am I seeing flashers in?
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi all-
I am 23 years old and i was born with lattice degeneration so i have retinal thinning in both eyes, but only my left experienced a tear, while the other i had lasered to hopefully prevent tears from occurring. i received scleral buckle surgery about a month ago for the tear in my left eye. Around two weeks post-op i began noticing more flashers than i did before the operation and i was told that if i saw more flashers, i should call my doctor and have them look at it. i met with my doctor who only looked at the eye that was operated on and he said everything looked fine, but the flashers appear all the time still (making it hard to know if they're "increasing") and sometimes i notice squiggly lines (almost like fluid ) moving in the top right corner of my left eye (up near the top of my nose). i know the doctor said my left eye looked fine, but the fluid seems odd and this is now leading me to think the flashers are in my other eye. Has anyone else had flashers or a fluid-like area in their eye after scleral buckle surgery? And how can i tell which eye the flashers are in?
Thanks!

Hello, bro. I have 20, and i "get" floaters and flashes(blue field phenomenon) on 20'th day after scleral buckling on right eye, maybe after physical work(about 1,5-2 kg/hand). I have floaters, some of them — points, some — as lines, and in top right corner of right eye i see fluid-like substance.
P. S. Close one of your eyes, and check flashes, and vice versa.
