My vision was clear enough, but just felt “off” for a long time, maybe 10 years or more. I kept complaining to my ophthalmologist and he finally referred me to the retina specialist. He did a lot of retina scans that found the pucker and explained what was going on. I hadn’t noticed the distortion until that diagnosis a couple years ago.
The surgery is scary — drain the eyeball of the vitreous humor, make a small incision, scrape a micron layer off the retinal scarring, and let the body regenerate the vitreous humor. Yikes!
My right eye presents a distorted image of straight horizontal lines. There’s a small downward dip in the middle of the line. It appears as maybe an inch droop of the horizontal line at 20 ft.
Good luck with your visit with your eye doc.
After cataract surgery I had a bunch of floaters in one of my eyes. The surgery my eye doctor did was to siphon out the vitreous humor and replace it with water. Over time the vitreous regenerates. It worked out OK.
