2nd FOV, same surgeon?
Is it safer to do a second FOV with the same surgeon? Is there any additional risk in changing to another one (new dye, antibiotic etc)?

Frill
Do you think it happens because of the skills of the surgeon or the shape of the eye? My surgeon is supposed to be one of the best around and even teaches a surgical techniques class at a very big university and I still have frill.

Does it make sense to do a FOV for floaters near retina ?
If someone have floaters mostly near retina, does it make sense to do a FOV for this ?
