What causes your depth perception to be off after a vitrectomy for a detached retina?

After a vitrectomy for a detached retina, depth perception may be affected due to changes in the eye's structure and function. The removal of the vitreous gel and the subsequent healing process can alter how light enters the eye and how images are projected onto the retina. Additionally, any residual swelling or changes in the retina's shape can impact the brain's ability to accurately interpret depth. Over time, depth perception often improves as the eye heals and adapts.
