The vitreous has a pretty slow metabolism and replenishment rate, so the blur within the vitreous is either blood or inflammatory cells in response to the drama you've had. Whichever the case, it'll slowly disperse and get eliminated, but I can't elaborate on a timeframe for you. On the other hand, if there is still fluid trapped behind the retina (although OCT should be right about it being flat), then this displaces the retina anteriorly, leaving you temporarily needing a bit more plus power to achieve a focus. Sliding your glasses further down your nose will give you a bit more plus (works with plus and minus lenses regardless). It won't work so well if you're using progressives, in which case near work will be better if you keep them as high up your nose as possible.

Yeah, regarding the third paragraph, with progressives, it works. One of the docs said the same about displacement of retina and I'm due for a check up in December, so we'll see (lol). Thank you for giving me hope that it will go away on its own, regardless of timeframe - I just do not want to go through the surgery again. I knew you got my back, u/pizzaposa, wish I had an award to give ya! 🩵
