Dave, thank you for that last post. I think what you said will help people be more realistic about possible outcomes of the surgery. Yesterday, I had my three-week follow up with another surgeon in my surgeon's practice. He said my retina has healed as it should. I was released with no restrictions on exercise, so I headed to the gym after work and did an hour cycling class - yay! I am supposed to taper off the steroid drops since stopping them cold turkey is not good for the eye. I cut back to taking them three times a day. I had 20/20 vision and the pressure was 18. I still have the large, dark satellite debris floater and the target cells. I'm hoping they will start fading soon. I don't notice the large dot floater much anymore, but when I do happen to see it, rather than appearing solid, it seems to be made up of semi-transparent circles. I also see the dark feather in my upper right corner, but I keep curling my eyelashes in hopes that I'm just glimpsing the straight stubs of my eyelashes growing out. We had snow today and my commute by car took me 1.5 hours rather than 25 minutes. If I had still had the terrible pre-FOV floaters in my right eye, I would have been miserable. I did wear the cateract sunglasses though because my left eye is no fun even though it is not nearly as bad as my right eye was. Back to the appt. yesterday--I asked the doctor if he could see any loose vitreous in my eye, especially at the vitreous base. He said no, but that the vitreous base is like a rubber band that the vitreous attaches to. That's the first time I've heard the rubber band analogy. Does that mean it is springing about in my eye and that's what I see occasionally? Then he said something about fibers in the vitreous and backtracked into saying what I'm probably seeing is inflammation floaters. I'm not sure what to believe since this surgeon was the one I saw back in April who told me my floaters would go away! Anyway, on Jan. 31, I am supposed to see the surgeon who did my surgery and I'll see what he has to say. Take care, Stringyeye
