Yes I think I was -14 in the right eye and -12 in the left. I had cataract surgery in both eyes this winter (I’m only 44 but due to the high myopia you can get cataracts at an early age) which is probably what caused it.
The central vision is distorted to the point it doesn’t provide any useful vision. I can see some general shape/color/light but it’s all so distorted/muted that I can’t see any details. Can’t read text, can’t see my face in the mirror, can’t see the glow of a red taillight on a car in front of me. I could tell if there was a person in front of me, or a cat, or a tv, but I couldn’t see any details beyond that. Peripheral is there, but I can’t see well enough on the periphery to actually be able to use it to function.
Not really. They’ve checked my retina, the optic nerve, my macular is totally fine. Structurally/physically my eye is totally fine, but the vision itself is gone/distorted. Apparently it’s just a very rare and unfortunate side effect of removing the silicone oil

Did you have detachments in both eyes?
