Thank you Sheila for this video. I'm going through this right now, 41 years old nearsighted. Totally came out of blue went from normal vision to almost blind in a week had emergency surgery the day after seeing the retina specialist thankfully they caught it early I guess but I had a complete detachment and a " giant tear " so thankful for the doctors and my family and support system

@virgiljohnson4260 4 жыл бұрын

Your attitude is AMAZING! I had 3 detachments in 2 weeks. 2 in right eye and one in left eye. now I am 3 months out with Scleral buckles and Sillicone Oil in both eyes. Seeing the doc in a few days to determine when to take out the Oil. A little nervous because things have been 'stable' for last 3 months - vision is far from perfect especially in right eye but I know I have to move on to the next phase and hopefully have no more detachments and better vision in the next few months.

I just went though a detached retinal surgery on my left eye and had a gas bubble inserted in my eye too. The Doctor told me today that the gas will take another 2 months to dissappear and before I can see properly again ( my left eye ) is still a bit blurry. Thanks for explaining your experiences and how you copped with the aftermath of your two types of surgery. I to am very thankful for the professionalism and modern technology that's available today as it wasn't that many years ago I would have lost my sight!

Thank you for taking the time in researching and working all of this out for the rest of us that are having to go thru eye surgeries. You have worked out so many problems with more solutions than I would have ever thought of. I've had a detached retina with the oil solution (instead of the gas bubble) so I was allowed to sleep on my side at night with my head down slightly. I still have to have the oil taken out later ... then later on cataract surgeries. Your positive attitude and encouragement is much appreciated by everyone who watches this video. I'm so glad that it's worked out well for you ... and as you said, Thank God we live in a time where we have doctors and improved surgeries for everything. God Bless you and your family.

Wow, I have been so lucky as my posturing just involved sitting bolt upright for 45 minutes in each waking hour and sleeping on my left side with two pillows at night! They even let me play guitar which has helped a lot. I do not have to do the positioning anymore as I am beyond 12 days into recovery. The gas bubble is beginning to shrink now and I see a slit of 'normal' vision at the very top of my eye. Thank you for your words of encouragement just what I needed to hear. How are you doing now?

Thank you so much...I went to the specialist referred by my opthamologist because of a "possibly macular pucker" No urgency was indicated to me and I waited more than 2 wks before I made it to the retina specialist. Needless to say...I was in shock and terror when he told me I could not leave his office as I needed to immediately have emergency procedure for retinal tear - if I left, I could possibly end up losing my sight. This happened on a Friday and I am to see the specialist on Monday for checkup on the freezing & gas bubble placed for the tear. The hardest part for me has been the head placement and not being impressed upon what I can or can't do physically - Your video gave me a lot of insight as to what I have to do & WHY it is so imporant. Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing. I had a retina detachment right eye. The eye surgeon did a vitrectomy, laser retinopexy and inserted a gas bubble about a week ago. My detachment was at the top and I had to sleep upright to ensure that the bubble is pushing the retina into place. It's really causing a heavy back pain but at least I don't have to tilt my head down all the time.

Buy a massage table before your surgery - Costco or Canadian tire has them. Keep your face down 24/7 - its like when you set glue - you want to put it in vice grips so it sets. Same situation when you have your face down - it will push the gas bubble up against the retina to set it in place for good. Even though it will be horrible it is worth the 100% effort.

It might depend on the extent of the detachment (I hope) as I was only advised to lie face down for 24 hrs. Then I’m daytime, head level, sleep face/ cheek down- never head up My main problem is being off work, cancelling my patients and trying to be invisible at home to a wife who looks angry at me for not helping out and a special needs son who doesn’t understand why I can’t play with him It’s only day 7.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It really helps as much of what you speak of is not covered in post operative directions. Actually I had few other than lie facing down. I know it is an invasive surgery but I am 3 days into a recovery from a vitrectomy and no idea if it worked. I know everybody’s case is different. However, when did you first start seeing improvement in your vision? Your advice to visualize a successful operation and giving thanks for the incredible technology and health care professionals is truly inspiring. Thank you and glad to hear things turned out well for you.

@dbpike Жыл бұрын

It is now three weeks after the operation for me. I was given clearance a week ago to return to more or less normal life. That is, no more lying face down 24/7. The gas that I had injected into my eye finally disappeared yesterday. My sight has not returned to the way it was before. However, I have to give it time. My eye is still red but the swelling has subsided and the eyelid is almost back to normal. Straight lines appear wavy as others had reported.and things are not completely clear. I had a silicone band placed that will increase my myopia. This might be some of the blurry vision.. However, I am not sure yet if the macula has been affected. It does seem a little more foggy in the centre of my vision. Anyway, I have some vision now and I hope in time, things will continue to improve. I just wanted to share my experience for others who may be going through this and not knowing what to expect.

Thank you for your comprehensive video, it was very helpful. I have probably watched a couple dozen videos = Yours is one of the better ones. I have a macular hole, and the surgeon is recommending a vitrectomy. I was informed that I could be in the face position, anywhere from one week, to a month. I have arthritis in my neck, shoulders, and lower back. I’m also (naturally) top-heavy. = This is a huge NO for me, my body honestly cannot be in this position for an extended period of time. I’ll be contacting Guide Dogs for the Blind - Which is a much more viable option for me. Thankfully, I’m a huge dog lover! Hopefully optometry and the like, will evolve for folks that are unable to partake in this type of recovery. Stay well! 🌹

I just completed my fourth retina surgery in eight weeks. Each time after the surgery it detached again. Hopefully this fourth surgery will work. How long did it take you to be able to see and to what degree were you able to see over what period of time?
