| | | One month check up after my victrectomy
Well I'm just a little over on month out of having a victrectomy in my left eye and all is well. I'm seeing 20/20 with a little distortion at distances and some ghost images from my retina still healing. My doc lifted all restriction which is cool. I go back in 3 months for a follow up. |

| | | Awesome.
You will likely experience a bit of flakiness (ghosting) permanently. It's awfully difficult to put into words. You just know it's off a bit. |

| | John that's a good way of putting it. The ghosting is real inconsistant but it's still there. Thanks for the good wishes. |
