Guys, I suggest not to wait the survey from OneClear Vision and do here our own. If we have enought people here to respond, I can make some statistical analysis of the FOV results and present it to you. So we will know exact rate of complications, recovery time by different conditions etc, success rate by doctors etc.
I only ask you to reply here precisely on questions w/o any extra comments and explanations. It would be like questionnaire.
So I tried to include all important questions in this list and will show you on my example how to fill it in. OF course it would be better if we have our results in dynamics like 1 month after FOV, 3 months, 1 year, 3 years etc. But I guess we won't have enough sample for long-terms studies now. Let's just report on what's going on now at the current stage.
Let's see how it will work. I would try to update the process if I understand that I miss some data from you or you give me some good pieces of advice about it. So, let's start! The more people we have here, the better and statistically better the results would be! Please everybody how had FOV and how is visiting this forum reply here!!! It's really important.
Also it's important that we will have summary on all FOV's in one place w/o extra usually useless details etc.
So here is the list of questions and below my answers. Please spend 10-15 minutes to help other people.
1). FOV date (time till now)
2). Surgeon
3). Price
4). Covered by insurance - yes/no (% of coverage)
5). Country where FOV done (your home country)
6). Which gauge was used?
7). Was Kenalog used?
8). Did you have PVD before FOV
9). Was PVD induced during FOV?
10). Were stitches used?
11). Time you waited since your first floater till FOV
12). If your worst eye before FOV was 100 on "floaters scale", rate your another eye (from 0 to 100)
13). Briefly describe you floaters type before FOV (always in center, occasionally, lines, bulbs etc)
14). Event that you think gave you floaters (LASIK, trauma, some disease, nothing)
15). Your local doctor attitude to the problem
16). Your age at FOV time (current age)
17). How nearsighted are you
18). What % of your initial floaters has gone after surgery (from 0% to 100%)
19). Did you get new floaters after FOV (1 month, 3 month, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years). Put "-" if longer period is not applicable for you so far.
20). Did you have kind of debris post-op? Briefly specify (blood cells, kenalog cells, waving lines, bubbles etc)
21). How long does it take to vanish completely?
22). If it's still here, please specify and rate them if 100 was the worst condition after FOV, now is from 0 to 100.
23). Did you have kind of a frill (assuming it's smth different from post-op debris). Please specify.
24). Did you get it right after FOV or some time later? Specify time period.
25). How long does it take to vanish completely?
26). If it's still here, please specify and rate them if 100 was the worst condition after FOV, now is from 0 to 100.
27). How long did it take to get your full vision back after FOV?
28). How long was your eye red after FOV?
29). How long did it take to get your normal size of the eye after FOV
30). Did you have some flashes visible at dark time during eye movements after FOV? Do you still have them now?
31). Did you have retina tears / detachments?
32). If so, specify period when you got it (during the surgery, one week later, one year later etc.)
33). Was it fixed successfully? Please briefly specify.
34). Did you get cataract after FOV?
35). If so, specify period when you got it (during the surgery, one week later, one year later etc.)
36). Was it fixed successfully? Please briefly specify.
37). Infection yes/no. Specify.
38). Hypotonia yes/no/ Specify.
39). Other complications. If so briefly specify.
40). How would you overall rate you FOV success and satisfaction (rate 0 to 100, where 100 is the best) so far?
41). Do you plan to do one more FOV for the same eye (to eliminate residual frill, debris, floaters)? If you already done, please briefly explain the reason and rate from 0 to 100 success and satisfaction from second FOV). Time period between FOVs?
42). Do you plan to do FOV on the second eye? If so, when after the first FOV? If you already done it, specify period between FOVs and rate success of the second FOV from 0 to 100.
Thank you for your time!!!
