I’ve had Vitrectomy and other surgeries to correct a retinal tear following a cataract procedure. It was to “correct the anatomy” of my eye. It was not successful, I still have poor vision in the eye, but EVERY situation is different. I already had a tear, sounds like you are trying to avoid one.

I do suggest a second opinion from a board certified surgeon.

You are correct... no tear... Just scar tissue forming over the macular after the gel my peeled and clung to the retina...

Eye sight was a good 20/30... has degraded to a bad 20/40-50 due to the scaring...

The procedure will peel and remove and anchor the perimeter...

Thanks for the feed back.
