Your blog has been very helpful in finding out the "real story" about the recovery period and what to expect.<br />Thank you so very much. pdenton123@hotmail.comPeter Dentonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349370320763467463.post-605825952507405122010-02-16T14:01:40.389-06:002010-02-16T14:01:40.389-06:00Hi Sharon,

My macular hole surgery was successful, at least as far as closing the hole. But I still have so much distortion. It's a little better (maybe 10%) since the operation, but still somewhat of a problem. I had a vitrectomy for a retinal detachment about 2 months before the macular hole vitrectomy, so I know my experience will be different to yours, but I'm still interested in comparing notes.<br /><br />By the way, I had my cataract surgery on Feb.1. SOOOO much easier to cope with than the head positioning and gas bubble and all that rigamarole! My visual acuity is so much better in my Evil Eye that I almost wish they could do my healthy eye as well!<br /><br />Hope you're doing well and still enjoying life.<br /><br />AlisonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349370320763467463.post-91929543288973834812010-01-09T13:38:20.216-06:002010-01-09T13:38:20.216-06:00Thank you for the postings and your expenditure of...Thank you for the postings and your expenditure of the efort involved.

The cataract surgery shouldn't be as annoying as the macular repair was, so good luck with that. Soon your eyesight will be great(hopefully).
