I have an epithelial inclusion cyst that looks similar to this. I had a detached retina that was treated with a scleral buckle first, then two more surgeries and finally laser to keep the retina attached. Now two years later I am dealing with this cyst that I noticed about 6 months ago. The retinal surgeon is treating it with antibiotic/cortisone drops 4 times a day for 2 weeks to see if that helps with the burning pain I have. He said he’s only seen this cyst occur after surgery a few times and he’s never operated on it so I am in limbo waiting to “see” what will be done next. The cyst has not affected my vision (yet) and doesn’t hurt other than the painful burning that occurs frequently. I do get eyelashes and gunk stuck underneath the cyst though but the surgeon said he could have a different surgeon fix that independent of the cyst. If anyone else has had this cyst as a result of previous eye surgery (like me) and had it surgically removed, please email me as I would love to know the outcome. Right now, the surgeons are telling me that if they remove the cyst, there is a chance the retina will detach and I could go blind. I would prefer not to remove the cyst as obviously I don’t want to go blind, especially after all the work that went into getting my sight back after the retina detached.
