Floater surgery works! I had both of mine done and I can see perfect now. Thanks to your earlier vids, I made it a priority to find a local Dr. that would do the surgery here in NC.
@@my06catmaui i live in chicago and i have seen 3 retina Surgeons. All of them said they would not perform vitrectomy. Can you describe how bad your floaters were dee? I have many floaters in both of my eyes. But all the retina surgeons claim the surgery carries much more risk than the benefit of removing the floaters. Having said that, I feel like I live my life constantly thinking of one thing: my floaters that I see 24/7. You would think living in illinois (not a small state) would make it easy to find a local specialist who would underperform fov but… any advise is greatly appreciated
I watched all your videos before getting the surgery on my most troublesome right eye. Wishing you the best now with the recovery of your second surgery!
Hi Mark. Glad to see you back again. I would love to get my right eye done. I had the left eye done in Rome in 2019. However I am not allowed to leave my country at the moment. I wont wear a mask and I definitely would not get the killer Vaccine so I would not be allowed to leave the country. Keep us posted about your recovery on the right eye.
Who asked you about the vaccine or masks? Did you just decide to spread this information on the internet because you think people need to know about your ignorant facts? Check yourself and the sources you are getting your information from.
Thanks for sharing these videos, Mark. Very helpful for those of us contemplating the procedure. Glad all appears to be well so far. Did you use the same surgeon for the right eye as with your left? If not, why not?
Hi I have just had a torn retina which had bled . I had it lasered the blood haze floating around is torture. I just had the laser yesterday and the tear was about 4 days prior. How long dou you think it wil take for blood to dissolve thx
@@markirish8907 can you share how much the surgeries cost you with your insurance? Do you happen to know if insurance even cover this surgery? I have had probably 15 YAG laser floater removal procedures and the only way my insurance covers the cost is if I do the procedures at least every 90 days.
@@markirish8907 can you describe how severe your floaters were and why you did not qualify for YAG laser? Also - how is the recovery after second surgery going mark?
@@martynazawilinska7102 Things are going well, thanks for asking. I will post a follow-up soon. I felt my floaters were severe, most doctors did not, but it is subjective. From what I understand they were very close to my retina, which is why they were very bothersome, hard for doctors to see, and made the YAG an ineffective option
I have a tons of floaters in my both eyes, I consult so many retina specialist who do vitrectomy with the hope they will remove my floaters, but while examinations none of them can see my floaters, so they all refuse to give me a treatment, my question:, is your eye floaters were visible to doctor before vitrectomy? , please take a time and answer my question I would be very grateful, thanks
She was very cautious but told me she would do the surgery after I saw a psychiatrist and got written proof floaters are debilitating to me every day. She induces PVD and doesnt do core. I am around -3.75 myopic

I'm glad it worked for you, who was the doctor in NC that performed it?
@@markirish8907 W. Copley McLean, Jr., M.D. @
Asheville Eye Associates/Retinal Division Western NC. Sadly, I’m thinking he might retire soon.

How myopic are you?
Can I ask how apprehensive was he to do the surgery? I've found a local doctor I wanna see. Thanks.

Thank you. I did not because the first one has retired
I’m now 2 days post op from my floater only vitrectomy. Quick question about how many days would you say you had blurry vision before it cleared up?
Most of them were gone in a few weeks but others took a long time
Hi, Mark. Did you get a core vitrectomy or have a PVD done?
PVD

how is your right eye now? which operation would you rate to be better comparing the left and right eye surgery?
Hi Mark, Who was your surgeon? I'm trying to get this surgery done sometime soon.
Lowery King in Charleston SC
I know it's not universal but how much did these two surgeries cost approximately? I don't have any insurance to cover for any.
I'm not sure how much it would be without insurance
