Most Patients DO NOT Need to Worry About Head Positioning Following Retinal Surgery


 

Retina Surgery Head Positioning

Head Positioning - Not for Every Patient!


Only patients with gas injected into their eye may require specific head positioning. Follow the specific directions given to you by Dr. Wong at the hospital or surgery center.


Many of you may require "face down" head positioning, that is, requiring your face to be held parallel to the floor. What to do? Well, there are companies that may rent equipment to help you with the week of positioning after surgery. Below are links to getting equipment delivered to your door.

If gas has been injected;

no travel to higher elevations -
- no traveling to mountains
- no air travel
