When it was determined that the eye was about to tear again, I had the complete surgery, including cryosurgery,
laser,
removal of all the vitreous fluid, and another gas bubble. 24 hrs. after the surgery I developed cranial neuropathy of all the nerves affected by the local anesthetic. My surgeon told me that doesn't happen. Apparently, he's misinformed. It happened to me. At first he offered only Tylenol 3, which didn't even touch the pain.
