Re: Frustrated with practically everyone in medical profession
I know it's a tough decision, but if you are that miserable where you can't go through the day without thinking about them and they interfere with almost all activities-then it's time to do the FOV....

As of right now, I am tentatively scheduled for my left-eye FOV this Monday in Philadelphia with the same surgeon who did the right eye last year. I wrote "tentative" as I will need to find a ride,...

Hope it all works out, and you get better results this time around. Keep us updated when you get a chance, but just relax and go in with positive thoughts! Good Luck!

Had my left eye done this morning. Extremely burning and watering. Unusually, unlike when I had the other eye done last year, my right eye has become extremely sensitive to light and I don't know...

The entire ride back for my 24-hour check up I had to wear a sleep mask over sunglasses. My sensitivity to light in BOTH eyes is that bad. (Had to wear the same all the way home, too.) Doctor said...

You should know by now it is too early to be concerned with leftover debris after FOV. It has been 24 hours... Go get some rest.

Yes, too soon to know what will remain and what will disappear. I remember some terrible debris in my eye too but knowing that many people here have stated most will disappear, I found solace in that...

Thank you, but what I am seeing at the top is not my eyelashes, but a very dark, jagged floater which runs the entire length of my upper vision. More disturbingly is the one in my central vision....

Is your hospital a teaching facility? I don't think that's possible without your consent or knowledge of it. Usually the doctor would tell you, introduce you to the intern or ask if it would be ok...

Jim what you describe as, "almost perfectly straight lines, horizontal one above the other, parallel to each other" I experienced also. I had my FOV on the 12th of August this year. They were to pitch...

Thank you. I hope it is something which resolves, but comparing it to what I saw after my previous FOV, this isn't the sort of phenomena I had which disappeared. Odd thing is I was awake the whole...

As if what I had before wasn't bad enough... Just got up from a nap and everything I saw previously I am now seeing more clearly, and new debris -- including something which looks like a giant, dirty,...

Not only is there more horrific debris noticeable in that eye now, after FOV, than had been prior to FOV, but the last 12 hours or so, there has been a significant darkening of everything as seen...

I wouldn't judge the surgery-results too fast, there is still a big chance that it will all dissapear or get better. After all, the odds are still in your favor. By the way, you were awake during...

They can't fire you under FMLA (The Family and Medical Leave Act). You should contact your HR department or whoever takes care of that sort of thing at your workplace so you are protected. I believe...

As my focus slowly begins to return, the debris is getting worse, not better. That annoying object in the center is currently the worst, by far. It looks like a piece of scotch tape, with perfectly...
