  • Video testimonial by one of Randall Wong, M.D.'s patients. "Micheal" had a 25 gauge vitrectomy to remove the floaters. The vitrectomy was performed as an outpatient at Woodburn Surgical Center in Fairfax, Virginia.
    Michael's hope was to produce this video so that other's may learn from his experience. Had he seen such a video prior to his own vitrectomy, his decision to proceed would have been much easier.
    Thank you Michael, for taking the time to share your FOV experience with others!
    All the best,
    Randy

    I emailed Dr. Wong once for costs and his team were very good about helping me figure out everything. If i ever decide to have it done, im going to this man. Cheers to you, Dr. Wong!

    Hi
    Is it possible to have some sort of vertical double vision with a posterior vitreous detachment in both eyes?

    For how many years after vitrectomy is the vision stable? How many patients have suffered complications decades afterwards?

      Cataract soon after if you're close to 50 and cataract close to 50 if you're younger than 50

    Dr Wong, is age an important factor for a FOV? Im 19 and have floaters so I was wondering if I could be a candidate for vitrectomy ?

      @@fernandagonzales9941 Hola perdon la demora, en resumen mi oftalmologa recomendó que el riesgo de la vitrectomia era más alto que el beneficio que se podía obtener así que no le realizó, ya pasó más de un año desde que empecé a notar los floaters y podría decir que me he acostumbrado A ellos .

      @@user-zy8ej6wh8l hey Man, in my case they did not vanish but time has passed and I can honestly say they do not bother me anymore, of course every case is different but with my experience I would recommend waiting some months to see if you can cope with them.

    Nice to meet you. I am 25 years old and Japanese. I am not good at English, but I would like to ask you a question. I also had a vitrectomy to remove my flying mosquito. By the way, it is lens preservation. My vision became clear immediately after the surgery. However, after a few months, I started to see black vertical lines at the edge of my vision. It does not jump around in my vision like flying mosquitoes. It is fixed at the edge of my vision, moving in place. Are such symptoms common?

      Sounds like they missed some floaters or its the vitreous membrane

      The safety of vitrectomy is the same regardless of age. Considering only your age - 32 is not an issue. Randy

    Dr Wong do you find many people with floaters have problems with light sensitivity etc. Halos,streaks, entopic phenomena also?

    • @RandallWongMD
      @RandallWongMD  7 років тому

      I wouldn't necessarily call it light sensitivity. Of the symptoms you mentioned, I think glare and halos are not uncommon. Entopic phenomena - not so much. Thanks! Randy

    Hello Dr. Wong, I'm 35 yr old, in 2018 I discovered that I had intermediate uveitis. Thankfully after a year of treatment, my uveitis is inactive. However, I developed cataract (complicated) and also have loads of floaters. What would you recommend, a cataract surgery first or vitrectomy (which I have to undergo as I can't bear the floaters anymore)
    Kindly advice. I'm willing to visit you in your clinic. I'm from Goa- India.

    • @RandallWongMD

      Make absolutely sure uveitis is controlled before having either operation. If your cataract is pretty advanced, I'd get that done first. Randy
