I had a torn retina fixed by Laser surgery, then the Retina detached and I had Pneumatic Rentinaplexy. then 3 weeks later it detached again. i have just turned 61 and have a very active athletic life. I have seen my surgeon 3 times, day after, week after, 2 weeks after. Everything is healing fine. no Scar tissue. I can see above the gas bubble with a lot of glare. i can see through the gas bubble with a constant moving sensation like looking through a moving aquarium. my eye still very read and has intermitntemt pain, nothing serious just a pain around the eye. my other eye is affected by the glare and it is very frustrating. I do not know how long this will last, is there a way to deal with affect it has on my normal eye? I have been told to resume all activities but do not drive at night, do night lie flat on my back and do not fly for 8 weeks after surgery. i do not know if bubble will be gone in 8 weeks or what i can really expect in terms of visiion after 8 weeks, discomfort and just the daily annoyance with the bubble and glare? Any insight would helpfull I am 5 weeks out after Vitrectomy and Scelra Buckle surgery for a detached retina.

He will goes through another surgery call "vitrectomy" on coming Thursday / Friday. What is this? Any risk?
