I have my scleral buckle removal surgery booked for 01Jun26

Please can you give me some good stories of removals? I’ve only had it in 5 months but I have had pain and worse vision than before surgery every single day. I had not lost my vision to begin with, I just had a few flashes of light every so often. After surgery everything is objectively worse.

I regret having surgery in the first place every single day but I want to move on with my life.

I’m torn whether to postpone my surgery or keep this date. Dr. Says the retinal tear is healed and that some people’s eyes just don’t like the shape of the buckle.
