Hey, Mark, I am glad everything is going so well with you. I have had floaters for almost an year now. I can do my job but if I decide to focus on them it is annoying. I have gone to 2 ophthalmologists in my country (Bulgaria). Unfortunately in my country they don't make vitrectomies for eye floaters. They say that you must learn to live with it. I don't know why they are so conservative about the procedure. They expect complications and the need of further vitrectomies in the future because of the complications. I cannot beat the system here. I can immigrate after I get my pharmacy degree to a country where victrectomies are more popular and do the surgery after I settle myself there. For me this is the only option or to simply to wait scientists to invent a new safer method for floaters removal but I don't know when it is going to happen. Maybe in 5,10,20 years... Who knows? Anyway, good luck with your case, I hope in long term future everything will be fine with you.
What was your cost if I may ask? I got a self pay rate of $5300 but I'd say self pay total $6k with consult and being knocked out. I don't want to be awake if I do it. God bless.
Thank you for sharing! How old are you if you don't mind me asking, and how long did you deal with floaters before having the vitrectomy? Thanks again for sharing
I had this procedure done for the same purpose. I am about 6 or 7 weeks post op. I have a red spot and redness in the corner of my eye. In your experience, how long does this last and when should I expect the redness to get better? Also, the area where my eye is red seems to feel a bit gritty. I am worried it could be permanent like a scar on the conjunctiva of my eye or something. Did the redness give you any discomfort? Thanks.
Good fortune to you...I had redness on the corner that took maybe 3 months to fully go away. The doctor I was seeing for follow-ups was not overly concerned about it, and I haven't had any problems since - but I was surprised with the recovery time. I did not see any red spots, so cannot be of help there.
Thanks for reply , my surgeon says they are blood or inflammation cells, he said they should get better as the weeks go on. What do you see in your fov eye now ? All clear ?
@@reecebude there definitely was blood in my eye post surgery that went away with time. It took at least a month...the recovery time for me was longer than what doctors seem to indicate
reece bude hey Reece, aside from the blood cells, how is the overall condition of your eye? Are the original floaters gone? Any complications so far? Are you pretty happy you had the surgery?
@@amjadsuniverse that's the improve I experienced. I have posted updated videos which may help give a better sense. Best of luck in your decisions, I know how annoying this condition is
@@amirmht8029 I'm not sure what that is, but I do not believe so. I had two very noticeable floaters in each eye, and my left eye is now clear of those specific floaters.

try Sveti Vid in Belgrade they do it there. In your country have you tried Lukan Mishev?
@@tokajileo5928 No Sveti vid, Optimal Podgorica-Montenegro,Dr Sergej Alpatov. and Dr Gioulio Bemote i Roma.
Hey, Mark. TY for the video. How are things after 4 years now?
All is well

Any cataract,?
Did they replaced the vitreous?
Which fluid is present in your eye after vitrectomy
Thank you for sharing! How old are you if you don't mind me asking, and how long did you deal with floaters before having the vitrectomy? Thanks again for sharing
I was 32 when I had the surgery... suffering from floaters about 10 years. So far, very pleased but monitoring carefully for side effects
@@markirish8907 Thanks so much! Wishing you the very best!! Was there a specific reason that made you decide to go ahead and go for it?
@@TheyDontKnowImHere I appreciate that. I developed floaters in my other eye a few years ago and that made the condition quite unbearable
Hey buddy what was ur eye power before lasik

Hey thanks for these videos

Do you have any floter on it? And any side affect in this Surgery? How long suffer in floters?
It is not clear what you are asking
@@markirish8907There are a lot of dense people out there.
Where did you go/which doctor did your fov??
Dr king in Charleston did the second surgery and he still practices. The first was Dr. Wong in Arlington but he retired
Thank you very much!
Hello
Mark did you ever have the cell type debris ? 2 months in and for the last 3 weeks had annoying black and transparent cells rain down in my eye
I'm not exactly sure what you are describing but I don't believe I had that
Thanks for reply , my surgeon says they are blood or inflammation cells, he said they should get better as the weeks go on. What do you see in your fov eye now ? All clear ?
@@reecebude there definitely was blood in my eye post surgery that went away with time. It took at least a month...the recovery time for me was longer than what doctors seem to indicate
Mark Piro yea been 2 months for me now , didn’t notice them until week 5 weirdly
reece bude hey Reece, aside from the blood cells, how is the overall condition of your eye? Are the original floaters gone? Any complications so far? Are you pretty happy you had the surgery?
another update please? how are your eyes now?
All is well... continue to see improvement with each passing week
is it impossible to move your black spots around? are they fixated in one spot?
they are moving further away from the field of vision, and they are fairly stationary
Have you developed cataract brother?
I have not
@@markirish8907 any other issues?
What solution your doctor fill in your eye after vitrectomy???
A saline solution
how about your floaters and you vision right now?? i'm stresful can you sharing with me?
No change, vision is fine and floaters gone, still have them in my other eye however
@@markirish8907 so the floater really really gone and clear vision?
@@baguspurbaya2203 my vision is fine, the surgery removed about 90% of the floating
@@markirish8907 10% you still have floater? It's annoying?
@@baguspurbaya2203 yes, I would recommend you watch the videos I explain it in great detail
How old were you when you got it done
32
Oh ok. Did your floaters cause any retinal tears or holes or retinal detachments ? Or you just did this to get rid of floaters
@@amjadsuniverse completely voluntary to get rid of floaters
Ok. How is your eye now ? You still say it’s 80% ?
@@amjadsuniverse that's the improve I experienced. I have posted updated videos which may help give a better sense. Best of luck in your decisions, I know how annoying this condition is
So can you see normally now?
Yes, my vision is fine and still sticking with about 80% improvement from the surgery. Quite pleased
Mark Piro how long did it take to see out of that eye normally? I wanna do the surgery but can’t take tons of time off work.
@@blakejameson7023 I was at work on Monday... although my eye was a bit bruised...see my earlier videos. I literally took one day off work
Floaters gone but still black spots does not appear successful to me considering danger of the surgery.
Depends how bad the floaters I suppose, for me they were very bad
We look for improvement not perfection
Hi, can I speak with you on a phone?
hey bro. glad to see you are free from floaters.. can I have your Instagram Id?
I'm not cool enough for instagram
Mark Piro did you have Visual Snow too? or just floaters?
@@amirmht8029 I'm not sure what that is, but I do not believe so. I had two very noticeable floaters in each eye, and my left eye is now clear of those specific floaters.
