Kala,
From my first consultation Dr Chang appeared to me quite willing to do the surgery for me if I wished. No persuasion on my part was ever necessary so I guess it is true to say he offered voluntarily. Any initial reluctance was on my own part, not Dr Chang's. As far as I can recall he examined my eye and since I suppose that the floater and PVD (that had blighted my life for ten years) was so easily visible to him he told me immediately he could help and proceeded to explain the risks to me. I remember him telling me that during the operation he would have the opportunity to do a very close examination of my retina and would use a cryogenic probe to fix any retinal problems he might discover. (He told me later he had found reason to apply the probe.) I also recall him saying that my retina would be at lower risk of retinal detachment after the removal of the detached vitreous and the repair of any existing retinal weaknesses. On the basis of my experience I think Dr Chang is understanding of and sympathetic to the 'quality of life' issue that drives most, or all, floater sufferers to seek help and would probably be quite willing (in the absence of any complicating factor) to perform FOV for anyone presenting with symptoms of significantly debilitating floaters. .............. Don
