Sucks. Sorry to hear that. The only thing I can offer is a muscular pucker to help you feel better.

I haven't had to have the surgery (yet), however my right eye has the macular pucker. One of the many things that we all get to experience as we age. The vitreous fluid in our eyes is like Jello in the refrigerator, it shrinks as we age, and as it shrinks, it pulls away from the optic nerve. Most of the time, it simply pulls away with no problems. However, there are cases where it leaves a film on the optic nerve which continues to dry and shrink. This is what puckers the nerve.
Not sure what a Hauk Tueh is? Is that like clearing your throat and spitting out the phlegm? Knowing this place, I'm not going to google it. |

That sucks. How risky is it? Is it confined to one eye only - when you close the affected eye are you able to read normally with the other? How long is the recovery period and what does it entail?

Full recovery is 2-3. If I close my right eye no issues. My maternal grandmother had a ton of eye issues and so do my brother, sister and I. It is brutal and scary. |

I hope for the best possible outcome for you. |

Sucks man. I'm a giant pussy when it comes to my eyes. Over the winter the eye doctor thought I had retinal detachment but it turns out I have Retinoschisis. Just having them shine the brightest imaginable light into the depths of my brain was bad enough.
Good luck bud. |

I mean, at least it's not a macular pucker in your brown eye....
