Thanks so much Lynne. You’ve really cheered me up. And you’ve some great tips. I’m on day 4 and struggling. Been a bit snappy w visitors but you’ve made me feel grateful to have some. They can make heir own refreshments - I’ve felt pressure to host them as it’s just what I do. 🧡

Love your attitude, I’m very active also and have a dog who was demanding a walk. I can now walk my dog but I can’t workout or fly( no air travel), no mowing my lawn. Loved your video, it really helped.

Thank you very much for your video. Tuesday, I learned I'll be having surgery on Monday, Nov. 30. Everything went so fast that I didn't have any time to process what was going on. In a few, I'm going to get the vitrectomy chair. I was looking for some tips, testimonies, or something from those who had this surgery before, and I found yours, which I find great! This experience, I'm thinking, is going to be somehow challenging since I'm the caregiver of my 93 years old and in Covid-19 time. I think I'll be writing some of my thoughts in my journal. Oki doki, bye-bye.

Thanks so much for making this video. No one is talking about how to get through the recovery period. You’re very helpful. Fortunately you can now get better recovery equipment. I’ll have a set of a forward leaning supportive chair, the tabletop unit and a nice set of cushions for sleeping facedown on the bed.

Wow! You're lucky! I had to hold an odd angle on two axes for 55 minutes of every hour MINIMUM. 24/7 for two weeks, and nothing like that nice padded device - I just had to commit the posture to muscle memory. After the first two weeks another two with slightly more leeway on time in position. I was so sedentary (and lying on only one side) that I had a diverticulitis flareup half way through. AND, I gained weight! You are so right about heightened hearing acuity! I heard noises that were MINISCULE! BUT...it was worth every extremely boring minute to have sight restored in the eye! You just have to grit your teeth and plow through the agonizing boredom.

Hi Lynne, I hope you are well. Thank you for this video. I have had this surgery recently but it wasn't successful. How has yours been? I' m not far from leceister and wondered if you recommended your hospital and surgeon. If I do the op again I'd really like it to work!

That was the hardest part, my posturing was about 1 week with my head to the side. My neck was hurting. I had a Pneumatic Retinopexy (gas bubbles) on 5/4/18 and I had 3 drops, after 1 week 2 drops and I just had a visit with my surgeon on 6/1/18 and no more eye drops. My next visit is 6/25/18.

I had a vitrectomy abroad and neither me or my fellow patients had to posture much. I postured for 3 x 2 hours the first day then 1 x 2 hours the next day then I was done. Posturing for weeks doesn’t seem common practice here

I felt the above during surgery and they had to add more drops to my eye.Lid was black and blue for 2 weeks.NOw having issues still trying to regulate my eye presure.still using 10 drops a day 3 weeks and 6 days later.In Canada 90% of the time you also have cataract surgery after this because thatis what trama from the eye surgery causes.I am not a Happy Camper these days.

Great video Lynne! We know how difficult it is to sleep face down after eye surgery. That's why we've created a device that helps you sleep comfortably face down. It's cheaper than renting a unit and you own it. If you're ever in this situation again, please contact us and we'd love to help you out! Hope you are doing well now :) Take care!

@Luis V It wasn't for my surgery, but I don't know if this applies with all surgeons, so best to check. The surgeon I had never explains 'anything' so I will never know the reason and won't be returning. Do you have a vitrectomy in your future? Hope it goes well for you. Edited to add...if it wasn't for KZfaq I wouldn't have had a clue.
@AW-pz3qc3 жыл бұрын
@Luis V Can I suggest one thing...make 'sure' you have a method of contact between you and the surgeon, just in case you need to communicate during the surgery. You won't be able to speak (move your eyes/face), can't move your hands etc and I needed to talk to the surgeon urgently with no prior arrangement made, however I'm sure he realised I was trying and he just ignored me. Thankfully the surgery and recovery was OK, but I'm now looking for another surgeon to remove the cataract. Mine was a Macular Tear. Will be thinking of you.
