bn216,
Well, they are only very worried that things might be worst after the vitrectomy, which is understandable, but when this is the only option, you need to at least make it available if the patient is really decided to go for it. They seem to thinkw e are all stupid. If they jsut explain the possible problems then we can take the decision. I know we are not doctors, but if explained with easy terms we can understand. Now, though, I would understand even more complicated terms with all the research and knowledge I have but I'm speaking for normal people going in the first time about floaters.
As for your doctor not seeing all your floaters, not only is it possible, it's pretty much always the case. They simply can't see all the floaters we see with an exam. Speaking to Dr. Mackool made that clear. My own local doctor here saw floaters in my right eye which, true, as the worst floater of them all for me, but he said the left eye seemed pretty clean but the left eye has more quantity of floaters. He was surprised when I said that. Anyway, bottom-line, they can't see what we see, hell even during the surgery then can't see them all, that is why they remove as much vitreous as they can. Those things are very small. We see them big because they are so close to our own retina.
