Done Cataract Surgery, Rear Capsule Crumbled And Done Vitrectomy, Floaters. Healing Time?
I had cataract surgery two days ago. The rear capsule crumbled and I had to have a vitrectomy. My vision is slowly improving. Am I correct in assuming I may need more time to heal from this than normal surgery with no complications. Also I have a lot of floaters. What are the chances these will go away without treatment and how long will that take? I am 63 and in good health otherwise.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
floaters develop due to vitreous degeneration
they will become more prominent after cataract operation
the floaters will not go away
you have to live with them and get used to it
when they incrase in number suddenly the prognosis is bad
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Take care
