Retina Road to Recovery after Vitrectomy Surgery, week 4
14:55 - 7 Aug 24 Hello Mr. Geist. I very much appreciate you posting these videos. I am on day 20 of my vitrectomy (got the green bracelet). I have a dark circle around the bubble with a round frost in the middle, is that what your small bubble looked like? Also, what did you mean by “type of lens” for your cataract surgery? I hope you are doing better and have had no issues thus far.
I won’t ask the Dr. name…would you mind telling me the city state you had it done? I’m in Las Vegas, need eye surgery and thinking I should go to Mayo, Cleveland Clinic..etc.
Thank you for telling your experience
Im on week 6 and can see from my eye. Bubble still at the bottom but vision isnt at all what he is describing. Everyone is different, dont let his slow recovery scare you. His recovery isn't the norm. And I'm 65.
Doesbyou get any side effects from this surgery and how many surgery you do? Eies any side effects in vision
Thank you for this. I have had sveral herroages in my left eye and am truly worried about what will happen. I'm age 66.
Sir how are you fine? I'm fine. Due to Sir injury my eye has macular hole which is very small in size and it's healing by itself but my eye is blurry and in the center. Nala looks and things look crooked Kindly if you have any information for this please let me know if it will be fixed or not.
Thank you so much for all of this information. I am on day one day four. Trying very hard to keep my head down. My doctor said just a couple of days with head down but my eyes feel better when my head if down. There is a developing cataract the Ophthalmologist sees developing. I had my day after appointment and my second appointment is in three more weeks. Your information is so helpful. Thank you. I will definitely stop walking and doing things around the house and let the bubble settle.
Thank you for all your time and information. Were you ever told what may have CAUSED the detachment in the first place?
Hi, I'm 38 and diabetic. I just found out about a month ago that I have a retinal detachment on my left eye. Now my eye doctor doesn't know how long the detachment has been there for and is currently treating it with photocoagulation. She mentioned that she wants to see how the eye is healing and then go over the risks of getting or not getting the retinal reattachment surgery. She says that sometimes, you can decrease the life span of the eye if you get the surgery, as right now, there's no guarantee they may save my eye. What should I do?
Hello Kevin,I woke up seeing multiple colors and dots in my left eye on 12-24-23 Christmas Eve. I could probably trace it to 2 months previously trimming a large bush and one of the branches hit directly in my left eye. It two months for this issue to flare up. I went to my Eye specialty clinic on 12-26-23 and the Retina Specialist said I had a partially detached retina and I had vitrectomy surgery on 12-28-23. I was able to get most of my vision back in about 2 months but not as good as before. When I am exercising strenuously in the gym I notice extra pressure and some aching in my left eye. It goes away after a day or two. I still have good peripheral vision but the eye does not feel right but at least I can see at about 80 per cent of what I was able to see before.
HI James, I can relate to those sensations. You may still improve some. All my best.
Kevin, I can’t tell you how much you sharing your experience has helped me! I mirror your experience. I am in my 4 th week of recovery for the exact same procedure. I have also resumed my workouts with modifications. I remain hopeful and positive about my recovery and will continue to follow you. Thank you again!!!
Thanks for sharing Susan, Glad it was a help.
How is your eye now?
Hi AZ, still pretty much as I describe in the video.
I'm currently at 14 weeks. Since my retina was almost completely detached and based on the location of the detachment I was told not to bend over, lift anything heavy and lay only on my left side opposite to my right eye. They called it positioning. Even with your eye covered you still see the outline of the bubble moving and it can definitely throw off your balance. The retina has reattached but I still can't see well out of my right eye. I've been told by my retina doctor it's most likely a cataract but not to consider surgery until well over 6 months since the eye has already been through trauma. It's an ordeal to go through for sure but the only other option was to lose all sight in the eye. Wish the best for anyone facing the surgery or currently in recovery.
Hi Nicky, An ordeal is an accurate description. Wishing you all the best too in this journey.
@@kbg3879 Thank you😊
So true
Thank you for making this video. I am 1 day post-surgery. I’m nervous about my future. I am 48.
Best of luck MOM, it is very unsettling to lose vision in any way.
Hi my name is Debbie and l am 62 and I live in Australia and l just had Vitrectomy and cataract surgery on my right eye yesterday l turned my phone on and there you are talking about your surgery wow l hope mine goes ok but thanks for sharing
Hi Debbie, hope all is going smoothly for you.
@kbg3879 yes l think so
Thank you, Kevin. We got this. Second week on my recovery from my retinal detachment surgery.
I had a retinal detachment surgery 2 weeks ago. I have so many questions about the recovery process. Your videos answer so many of them I have. Thank you. God bless you.
Hi Dici, I'm glad they are a help, I suspected they'd help a lot folks searching for info.
Question: as far as wowrk is concerning how long before you actually went back to work 2, 3, 4 months??
In my case, I believe it was 6 weeks.
Question: as far as work is concerning how long before you actually went back to work 2, 3, 4 months??
Thank you! Now I know what to expect! I’m in week 6! How is your eye after 2-3 years of recover.
Hi Andrew, not really much of a change since the 1 year mark
Different people have different recovery times, or so it seems. I initially had regular cataract surgery back in 2017. Both eyes, one month apart. Those surgeries went ok, but about six months later, I had a retinal detachment in one eye. I guess when they do that repair they also do a vitrectomy. Anyway, after all those surgeries I recovered quickly. Two or three weeks later and I was back to 20/20. The aggravating part was the first week or so, with all the eye drops.
Hi Jas, that is one of the better stories I have heard. Glad things have gone so well for you.
Thank you, Keith, for sharing. Im on my 2nd week of recovery, with a gas bubble, and you have addressed most of the questions/concerns I had. I had started to have problems focusing clearly with my good eye, and found that bt covering my recovering eye, it helped to clear my vision. Then, you stated you experienced the same, and it relieved the anxiety i was experiencing. I have faith that my vision will be restored as yours was so i can resume my normal activities--and be able to drive--soon. God bless you!
Excellent
I'm very pleased to read your experience and I am looking forward to having my Vitrectomy Surgery soon. Thank you 😊
Hi Janie, I hope things are going well for you. It can be a long process. So patience is important.
@@kbg3879 yes, I'm making progress. Again, I want to thank you because, had it not been for you, I would have had no idea as to what to expect, and what to consider par for the course during early recovery. My doctor did not prepare me at all! God bless you! And I pray that your eyesight has recovered totally too.
Thank you, I had a vitrectomy in left eye 1 week and a day ago, much appreciated video
Hi Jennifer, Glad it helped!
Just had rRNA detachment with Mac off. Your talks reassure me….about my eye
Hi Belinda, I'm glad they were of use to you. My best.
Great video! I found your channel because I have macular puckering. It looks like you’re still doing well! 😊
Hi Cam, yes, I'm doing OK. I hope things are progressing nicely for you.
I’ve got the same now yours is best description I have see that’s all videos on UA-cam because I think I’ve seen them all
Hi Kevin, I'm glad they are helpful to you.
U didn’t go in the fort in el morro and showed where a cannonball entered the fort. That’s the only spot that a ball entered
Hi Wooo, I guess there is always next time
13 years & 3 days in since the terrorist (Sunir Garg) did surgery on me at Wills Eye. Wouldn't recommend WillEye to anyone, most incompetent doctors. Fir anyone that suffers a Retina detachment I wish you the best.
Hi Dave, I am sorry to hear you ha a bad experience. How are you doing now?
I had my Vitrectomy surgery four weeks ago. The kaleidoscope (visual pun intended) of emotions has completely overwhelmed me. I really appreciate Kevin’s candor in this video. Thank you.
Hey Christen, I am glad to hear they are a help to you.
I’ve just watched all of your videos, very interesting and thanks for sharing them. I’m currently 10 days after surgery and I do have some vision which is quite clear at the top away from the bubble but I have the distorted wavy lines you mention.
Hi Alan, hopefully those wavy lines will become easier to ignore over time.
@@kbg3879I’m now at 8 weeks after surgery and it’s amazing the level of vision that’s returned. The bubble disappeared after 2 weeks and vision continues to improve. I still have some distortion but hopefully that will improve with time. Thanks again for posting, I’ve saved your videos 👍
Thank you this is very helpful. I'm on week 2 since my surgery. I had lattice degeneration and had a retinal detachment and had all the same procedures done. My surgeon was pleased with how things are healing as I had a recheck appointment yesterday. I had to keep my head down for 7 days but he said the longer I could be face down the better. I was able to borrow a table that was from my local chiropractors,also my work place, and did 10 days. Lots of audio books. Im able to drive but as you pointed out my peripheral vision on my left eye is nill. I feel confident after watching your videos that all will be well abu it's a slow recovery. Thanks again for making these videos. Blessings on you.
Hi Lori, I'm glad these videos helped raise your confidence level. Wishing you the best.
I was also hiking the Grand Canyon in 2017 - it was hard but worth it. Glad I did it while I was still able. Brava!
Hi Atburg, it is absolutely incredible. Most unforgettable hike ever.
Thanks for the info! Your doctor was not very good at communicating, which sucks.
Hi Chris, it appears many are equally "good" at it. My best to you.
Thank you! This really helps and I like how you visualized what you were explaining with blurs and smoke and … layering on your videos
Glad it was helpful Ashton, glad you like the special effects too. LOL
That is why I don't like eye surgeons. Being a physician, I try to keep myself away from them as possible I can. They keep the info for themselves. As if they are sharing secret governmental info. The other option is they are emotionally dry to hear what the patient says and share that experience with other patients. Wish they themselves do not experience what we experience. That would be too late for us.
Hi Dr Candan, It is had for me to fathom how they cannot be bothered of see the importance in sharing accurate info about what the experience will be for the patient. Do you have any advice for prying info out of surgeons ?
@@kbg3879 Hello. Unfortunately, I have no proper suggestion on how to milk fresh info from surgeons. I wish I had that magic wand so I could have made my choice more properly. Even though I angrily comment on them, I understand their stance. Every patient is unique in every disease and surgical intervention. There are thousands of possibilities, positive or negative. Their brain is so full of their currently following patient's data and scientific info changing in both ways faster than expected. So, I as a psychotherapist cannot properly and correctly answer my client's questions about their problems and prospects. 😕
Where did you get your cataract surgery?
Hey Kevin, thank you so much for sharing all these steps of your journey. I just had my week 4 appointment where I learned that things look promising for a good outcome even after a severe mac-off retinal detachment. Your videos help so many people know that we're not alone and things just might get better after all. Thanks again for taking time to share!
Hi Mar, that is why I made them, my best to you.
Thank you, I really appreciate this info. I have vitrectomy ahead of me not for detached retina but for a macular pucker. I believe it will entail a gas bubble. Anxiety is sky high.
Hello Delia from England🇬🇧…my macular pucker op is due to take place on Friday after 2 postponements. I imagine you are checking as many UA-cam examples as possible, just as I am. Kevin’s story is very interesting but everyone seems different. You will probably be offered the cataract surgery at the same time. If you’ve had the op already, you won’t be reading this for a while, so good luck! My feeling is that we have to be patient but the outcome should be favourable…Stay strong. Derrick.
Hi Delia, How are things progressing for you?
Hi Kevin thank you for sharing your story. I unfortunately are going through something similar, virectomy macula off, i wish everyone all the best on this forum. I also have a glow on the side of my head. I had a question! Do you still get flashes. I get these random flashes in bright light particularly in the sun. No one is able to explain to me why they occur.
Hi Shu, I don't have a problem with flashes currently. I wish you the best
Thank you I hope your good I’ve had this surgery it’s going on 2 months the gas bubble is half way gone but my eye started to get cloudy I don’t know if it’s cataract but this video give me hope I will be ok thank you so much
Hi Arr, How are you doing now?
My EM Retinal Surgery update from 10 mins ago. The "C" word should have read as "P". I also had a Peel. Why could I see my surgery being done, and clearly hear every word too. I even remember the word "buckle" being used. Why didn't I receive more anaesthesia??
I'm adding to my experience from about 20 mins. ago when I had to go to ED. During my EM retinal detachment surgery, I had a gas bubble, and my cataract done too..I had a word that begins with the letter "C". I saw all of the surgery in detail, and kept asking for more anaesthesia, but didn't get any. I had to keep my arms straight and make tight fists, as I was feeling shaky and sick. Immediately after my surgery I started to go into shock. This went away when I had a cup of tea in Recovery. That's the second part of my story. Thankyou for sharing your story and your journey
Hi Judith, I've not heard of an experience like that. Where were you for this?
Thank you so for all your detailed videos. Please i want to know more about all your cataract surgery with detail.
Thank you so much for these videos. I don’t know how you made the replications of what your vision was like at different stages, but they were very accurate. Im finding it difficult to explain what my vision is like when my eyes look perfectly normal to the person I’m trying to explain my situation to. I have had three retinal detachments in the past 12 years! I have an eye disease called kerataconus which complicates things for me. Ten years ago I had cataract surgery in my left eye and they did a lens implant at the same time. A few months later, my retina detached and I went thru the gas bubble ordeal. I was just feeling like I had recovered from that - and my retina detached AGAIN. This time they put an oil in my eye and that recovery process took 6 months! Fast forward to now - in October 2023 I developed a cataract in my right eye and went thru cataract surgery and a lens implant. Then, in March 2024 my retina detached in that eye! I’m currently 4 weeks out from that surgery. I have heard that a detached retina often leads to cataract surgery. Tried to locate 0:33 your videos about cataract surgery but couldn’t find them. I’m wondering what cataract surgery is going to entail (IF I do need that surgery) since I’ve already had a lens implant and cataract surgery (in both eyes). 😬
Hi Rita, I didn't make the videos I alluded to about my cataract surgery because, I didn't find my experience there so remarkable/different, from other peoples experiences that I found online. I'm guessing if you have already had cataract surgery and replacement lenses, you won't need that again. When they put gas in your eye, that advances the cataract much faster for your natural lens. I don't think it will impact your replacement lens. You tell me if that ends up being your experience. Best wishes for your recovery.
Just had it done. Day 3. I felt like Mike Tyson beat the crap out of me. Cannot see. Uber blurry. But my Doc said it went "Beautifully". Appreciate the video
Hi Crash, Best wishes for your full recovery.
How you doing today with your eye sight, just checking up on you.
Hi Steve, to date, not really much different from the time I made this video. My best to you.
@@kbg3879 Hi Kevin, you said you also had rd on your left eye? And prior to it you mentioned they had did the laser procedure for the lattice to the Left eye. Because I also have that laser done while they did surgery to my right eye for rd. I was wondering how everything has been going for your overall vision up to this point. I am 1 week today since the surgery to my right eye rd and just wondering what to expect and in the future. Im 36yo and im not sure when can i even go back to work after all this. Thank you.
Hi Kevin, thanks for the videos. I had my left eye done 4 times a few years ago(6 or 7), finally with a buckle and am now in week 2 of vitrectomy on my right eye. On the subject of the eye patch my understanding is that keeping one eye covered blocks brain signals trying to compensate one eye with the other. The brain loses track of where the eye is.
Hi John, I can say that it can help avoid injury because you want to see as well as you can when you are out and about. If the vision is too distorted from that eye, it is better not to have it and just see the more accurate info from the other eye. The other thing about being in public, then, people who see you will know you have compromised vision on that side. So, I think for the period where the gas bubble is in the eye, it is very helpful in some situations. My best to you.
I enjoyed this documentary who is really well done, worthy of a professional!😍
Hey Serge, Glad you enjoyed it!
