A member asked:
How long does it take before you can see after a retnia detachment with gas bubble c3f8?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Takes time!: First the gas has to get absorbed enough to get out of the view which takes a few weeks, then for the bubble to get out of the view completely takes 6 weeks. Depending of the extent of the retinal detachment, sometime it takes months before full function of the cells is regained!
