Welcome! How can I help with your medical question? I had retinal tear in my left eye 5 years ago due to detachment of vitreous gel from the retina. I had laser done around the tear to prevent retinal detachment. Scar tissue then built up on the macula causing distortion and loss of vision ( 6/9). I cannot read using my left eye. Unfortunately, my right eye is undergoing vitreous gel detachment now and is still on going. I am being monitored for fear of retinal tear which has not yet happened but my doctor noticed haemorrhage. Prior to my very recent right eye issue, I did not want to undergo vitrectomy to remove the scar tissue since my vision with both eyes was good enough. Now, I am concerned that if the same problem occurs to my right eye I would not be able to read and work normally. I now want to go ahead with surgery for my left eye, but the doctor says my vision would not improve because I had the scar tissue for almost five years (photo cells damaged for having been pulled for 5 years). Is it true that I would not benefit now from vitrectomy to remove the macular pucker in my left eye? Have you seen a doctor about this yet? What medications are you taking? I saw a retina specialist earlier today. I am 58 and pre-diabetic on 1000 mg of metformin daily Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know? No
