I had a detached retina which involved (spoiler for those that don't like to read about eyes)
Tap for spoiler
Having the fluid removed and replace with gas. My eye was out of action for months, going through all the stages of gradually refilling itself. I had to stay mostly lying down for a week. For a while I had an effect like looking over the surface of water. Later, a big bubble that distorted vision.Oh also, I was forbidden to go to high altitude because the pressure change could cause damage.
But after all that, just a few occasional floaters. My other eye still had lots of "tethered" floaters that seem to still be attached like seaweed strands.
So it can be done but you would go through a lot to get there.
I've heard that people do get that done just for the floater problem.
My dad had this done and his knees don't hurt from gout anymore. His diet changed dramatically too. Zero meats. It's been a while so I am allowed this one gag about my dad! He was such a great guy and I miss him very much. IE he is D I D dead, so he is in a sense vegan like myself.
All seriousness aside, he did get detached retinas and the vitrious liquid in his eyeball replaced. We could see the bubble and his eyes changed from brown to green. My coworker too had a lens op where they also replaced the stuff in the eye.
Oh. Well, I haven't seen any changes like that. Yet. Still time, I guess.
And also seriously, I didn't get any eye color change. I also had lens replacements a few years ago, but that didn't involve a vitrectomy, so I still had floaters at that point.
When I went to a new opthalmologist recently, that asked about my eye health history. It took about 45 minutes!
