You're supposed to sleep and shower with a patch (or tape) as well, which isn't very convenient or comfortable. Also, you can't wear contacts for 2 weeks after the surgery, so that compounded the issue as well. I will say this, though: I probably shouldn't have driven until at least a week post-surgery, as the double vision was pretty bad until then. Like dukey, I had the surgery on a Wednesday, and after follow ups on Thursday and Friday morning, I flew out Friday afternoon, and was back at work on Monday. You have a pretty bad black eye at first, and there is a lot of discharge, but that goes away after a few days. No more pain, though, as that was gone within about a week or so. Also, the eye is still pretty red, though again, this appears to be getting better. I still have double vision, though it seems to be improving gradually. A day after the surgery, I was 20/50, a week later, I was 20/30, and at 3 weeks post-op, I was back to 20/20 (minus 2 letters, but I'm wearing contacts with an eleven year old prescription). Dukey has posted his experience with the surgery in detail, so I won't retread that same ground, but I will say that I'm glad I did it. It's been a while, so here's the latest: On January 6, I underwent surgery (posterior pole buckle) in San Jose, CA, performed by Dr.

also frustrated because i can't seem to find a doc that specializes in high myopes where i live here in TX the new blind spot and distortion are in the nw quadrant of my vision. the lacquer crack was discovered about 4 years ago when i noticed a very small blind spot in the se quadrant of my vision. my rs didn't talk to me very much but i heard what he was telling his assistant to write on my chart-peripapillary choroidal atrophy and i think retinal pigment epithelium atrophy.

really frustrated that there is such a lack of information.

he gave me a shot of avastin on thursday. the distorted area on an amsler is about the size of a penny or nickel. i had leakage from a CNV that was near my lacquer crack. unfortunately 10 days ago something did happen. no changes since i last saw him 4 years ago and that i didn't need to see him anymore unless something happened. Well, i went to my RS about what seemed like an increase in floaters and he said there was nothing.
