Hello
It seems from the history that you are having retinal tear and lattice degeneration for which you have undergone pneumatic retinopexy.
It is normal to have visual disturbance following pneumatic retinopexy and it will improve as the air bubble gets absorbed.
The floaters will decrease as the retinal tear gets sealed.
Hence you can continue the same treatment as of now.

Thank you
I find this answer helpful
