Lloyd, I am not sure that a lens correction will help with the clouding. I still get cloudy floaters in my non-surgical eye occasionally when getting ready to call for the bird , in which case I just pause and blink for a few seconds until they clear, then make the call. Of course, you cant do that on a flushed bird. I had a vitrectomy 11 years ago for a detached retina in my left eye and it was an aggravated healing process only because of the retinal detachment. If its just a vitreous replacement, you shouldnt have to go through the keeping your head in one position 24/7 to keep the pressure bubble under the repaired spot. I was fortunate because my detachment was on the left side of the retina, so I only had to lie on my right side constantly to keep the gas bubble up against the repair. For two weeks--until the bubble was absorbed. If the detachment had been on the bottom of the retina, I would have had to stand on my head, or hang from my feet to keep the bubble in place--or so the retinal guy told me. I say this only to suggest that getting the vitreous replaced, while any ugly procedure to watch on You Tube, shouldnt be that bad of a thing absent a retinal repair. Talk to a board certified Retinal specialist to get the full story. Ordinary ophthalmologists are out of their league. And I may be 11 years out of date. Good luck! Mike
