After the bubble dissipated, I developed a horizontal cigar shaped blind area in my eye, just below the line of sight. It started on the way home (I had to stay at the same elevation until the bubble left.) It started tiny and got larger over about 3 days. The blind area was not mapped with a field of vision test until about a month ago. It looks about the same size to me. It goes from the left to about the center of the eye. It often looks opalescent or lavenderish, especially in the sunshine. Otherwise, it is grayish. I saw the surgeon again a week ago. He still does not know what has caused it and just wants it monitored. They thought it might be a leak behind my retina, but he said no.
I cannot believe I am the only person that has developed this problem. Do you have any idea what might be causing it? Do I need a second opinion? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you
