I have a "Kink" in my Left Eye in the Retinal Membrane, it makes a vertical straight line look as if there is a small ")" in it, right in the middle of my vision. I do not really notice it much.... any more.
However ,I do have quite a few "Floaters" that contribute to some Blurred Vision some of the time that are extremely annoying.
I have been to a Retina Specialist that says if the kink bothers me they can remove it by peeling it off
! They claim it is routine with some risk.
OK so Floaters can be removed but risks are way too high and out way any long term benefit, as a detached retina is a real issue if it manifests as a result of replacing the Vitreous.
So to the Kink: What to do? Well as it so happens, we have a group of folks that go deep sea fishing on occasion, and one of our casual friends happens to be a well respected eye surgeon in our town.
Over a beer and some fresh Mahi I explained my condition, of which he was very familiar. He said even before I had finished that he would not touch that kind of intervention it with a yard stick. Living with the condition in my case is far better that the alternatives, which in this case again is a detached retina.
To cut a long story short, he explained that, quote: "We surgeons make our money doing surgery, so the retina surgeon will want to do it. In my case I do Intra Ocular Device implants, Cataract & other lens based surgeries. If there is a need or near future need, I recommend it. BUT the potential risks are so rare, they are all but insignificant".
Apparently not so with retinal issues.
Anyway, I still have my kink, I can live with it. The floaters are way more of a pain, but at the moment I am living with them too and taking some recommended eye vitamins. We will see if they reduce as time goes on.
Good luck. "Been There done That".
