How long does it take to recover from a vitrectomy eye operation for retinal detachment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Depending on preoperative risk factors, it can take weeks to months for vision to recover after vitrectomy. Pain usually takes 1-4 weeks to resolve completely. Drops are usually continued for months depending on preop factors. More info: eyedoc2020@blogspot.com
