Hi, I think you just made one of the best decisions in your life. It sounds like your surgeon is very experienced and actually listen to all of your concerns. 23g and pvd induced is also the best technique to reach excellent results with in my opinion. I think it's the most accurate technique to work with in the hands of a skilled surgeon and it greatly reduce teh chance of residual floaters so you probably only need just 1 operation to get rid of everything forever. That's all based on my research on this board and consultancy with many retinal specialists troughout many years.

Regarding the pressing pain behind the eyes and tension headaches I can honestly guarentiee you that it's no placebo effect in my case. I "can't feel " my eye anymore. The eye muscles have a easy job to maneuver and that's probably because there was something very wrong with my vitreous probably too heavy.

I think it's also good that unlike me you take action very fast so it might save you some heavy depressions.

So after AlexO and me I hope to see together with Rfsapiens 2 more great outcomes in this month. That would mean 4 succesful FOV's in 1 month :)

Also quite some people (including me) are scared of infection but that's almost impossible these days with vitrectomy.
According to this article:

"Pars plana vitrectomy

Endophthalmitis after vitrectomy surgery has been historically low. Incidence data are roughly half that of cataract extraction."

Good luck wednesday, i'll send positive vibes and i'm sure you'll be allright.
