Five months ago I had macular pucker surgery and today my vision is worse. My doctor would tell me each month that I will heal slower because I am a diabetic. I finally decided it was time to see an opthomologist who immediately told me I have a swollen optic nerve and that my original doctor stated he did not see it. A couple of months after the surgery I also developed a droopy eye lid. The original doctor also said he was unaware of that however he actually looked at it and said it's some kind of virus and will run its course. The fact that my original doctor did not tell me about the optic nerve issue and told my new doctor he was not aware of either issue has me wondering just what may have happened during my surgery that my surgeon is not telling me. Anyone else had a damaged optic nerve from this surgery.

That was a good idea to change your eye doctor. Having problems in the eyes are needed to be evaluated and given a professional advice and treatment immediately from the legitimate eye doctor. Undergoing a macular pucker surgery has many risks you should expect. The surgery increases the risks of developing a cataract retinal detachment and infection. It is possible that the scar tissue on the retinal surface is not totally removed. There are also very rare cases that macular pucker will grow back. Certain visual acuity is needed to have this surgical treatment.
