Recovery Timeline

Week 1

Eye covered with patch/shield. Head positioning may be required if gas bubble was used.

Month 1

Vision gradually improves. Gas bubble (if used) slowly absorbs. Avoid flying or high altitude.

Month 3

Final vision stabilization. Resume all normal activities including air travel (once gas is gone).

Ongoing

Regular monitoring for chronic conditions like diabetes to maintain results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is retinal surgery urgent?

Retinal detachment requires immediate attention to prevent permanent vision loss. Other conditions like macular holes are less urgent but timely treatment is crucial.

What is 'face-down' recovery?

If a gas bubble is used to hold the retina in place, you may need to keep your head in a specific position for several days.

Is vitrectomy painful?

The surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia so you feel no pain. Post-op discomfort is usually mild.

Will my vision return completely?

Visual recovery depends on the severity and duration of the condition before surgery. Your surgeon will discuss realistic expectations.
