| | | Healing eyes
For those of you who have had a hemorage in the gel of your eye, during the healing process did you develope a patch of floaters or web like spots? My hemorage occured about 3 months ago in the upper corner of my eye and has been slowly working it's way down. Last week the retina doc said that the blood had worked its way between the gel and my retina and was cuasing my burred vision. Last night I had pretty much perfect unobstructed vision and was so excited words couldn't describe it. This morning I woke to these tiny blck spots and spirder web like images right in my centeral vision. Grrr again! |

Grrr again! | When I was getting them before my surguries, they tended to be the worst in the morning. They would sink as they day moved on. They would also change shape. Sometimes long and stringy, other times like spiderwebs, and sometimes a big blob. I had one remaining one after my left eye surgery and it slowly got smaller and smaller. Finally gone about 7 weeks later.

| | | Near the start, 2 weeks in, I'd get up in the morning all clear, and by the time I walked to the commode, it was all muddy. Soon after it didn't clear at all. A clot then developed and slowly grew bigger until I was prety much blind in that eye. |

| | | Well it's been a week and things are clearing well. I'm back to 20/20 with a small amount of floaters. I'm feeling much better about the whole thing right now but we'll see what the doc says in 2 weeks. Thnaks again for all your support! |

| | | Well I go in tomorrow for my check up and I'm praying all is well. This is stressing me out way too much! As of now I have a hand full of small floaters but no webs or strings. Wish me luck. |
