There are two types of gas used, one shorter lasting and the other a couple of months. I had the short one a few years ago and it was about 21 days. My second was 9 weeks. I'm told the length increases a bit each repeat so I'm expecting about total of 10-12 weeks.
I just finished the drops as well, at 4 weeks. They were also dilating my eyes which made the vision around the bubble worse and made me pretty anxious. Hoping that dilation clears out in the next week or so. It doesn't go away that quickly either. I'm only off a day. Good luck on your recovery!
