cedros Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 A local opthamologist has suggested I need a Vitrectomy. I will see a retina specialist soon to go over the details. Has anyone had the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 I have had several victrectomy's from 2004 through 2013. Dr. Enrique Roig (enriqueroig@retina.com.mx) did them at Clinica Santa Lucia in Guadalajara. I do have silicon oil in one eye, which has very limited vision, but the other eye has been quite successfully treated and does not require glasses for other than reading fine print. That said, my field of vision is too narrow to allow me to drive, and I now have glaucoma being treated for the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hilobarbie Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 I have macular degeneration combined with a terrible lense scar removal that left lots of tissue in my vitreous. I was warned my several eye surgeons how dangerous it is to remove the vitreous. After moving to Mexico I researched extensively and found Dr. Arturo Santos at puerto de Hierro Medical Bldg….018007155050. He has treated me for 15 years. I have had two bleeds that thankfully he treated successfully with laser and vitreous injections. No…not required to have monthly injections using his techniques. I would not trust anyone else with my eyes. This is not completely up to date but may give you some professional information. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arturo_Santos_García Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
