A member asked:
Is it normal to have debris floating around in the new vitreous gel after retina pvd surgery? i am 21weeks post op and gas about 50% left so i'm starting to be able to see above the gas bubble with tiny specks of black dots not like original floaters?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Call the surgeon if you are unsure about your symptoms, but in general it is fairly normal to see floaters for a while after vitrectomy as the gas bubble decreases in size.

I have a history of posterior uveitis right eye (5 years ago) and had a PVD in my right eye 6 years ago. Cataract surgery 2 years ago. Monday I noticed a new small black floater in addition to old floaters. No other eye symptoms Should I be seen?
Had PVD 4 years ago. Recently had a new black floater so saw optho for dilated exam and OCT which were normal. Would these tests have picked up retinal or macular problems. The floater has disappeared now and doc said it was debris. Thoughts please?
Saw retina specialist yesterday for tons of new gnatlike floaters. I had a PVD about 9 years ago in that eye and was told it was complete. Doc did OCT told me my diagnosis was PVD that he saw new vitreous seperation on my scan. Is this possible?
Can anterior vitreous detachment occur before pvd? Does it reduce the retinal risks assoc with cataract surgery? Symptoms other than floaters?
History of uveitis 2015. PVD years agoNew floaters rt eye so went for OCT scan and dilated exam. All good. I lifted some heavy boxes and bending day before floaters began. Doc thinks that may have stirred up debris. No pain, blurred vision Thoughts?
