Floaters?: Vitreous condensations or floaters my be present for some time following retinal detachment surgery. Only way to really evaluate is to speak directly with your retinal surgeon.

May be normal postop: You might want to consult your retinal surgeon on this, but I have had patients with very similar symptoms after retinal detachment surgery, and sometimes after retinal laser surgery. It is probably a false image created by an area of the treated retina. Usually it resolves on its own with time. Again, every case is different, so ask the retinal specialist if you need to be examined.

No retinal det. Gas bubble is gone after 11 days. My vision still looks like I'm looking through a hazy gel substance. Is this common before improvmt.
If the gas bubble was placed on the retinal surface, can this cause permantant loss in vision!?
