Just had the surgery for a detached retina. It was an area located on the right side of my right eye. Day after surgery, I have very limited cloudy vision and have chosen a brest feeding pillow to hold my head in the face down position. It is science that has helped repair my vision. So I thank my doctor, staff and science-based research for this miracle. No magic dictator in the sky is required.

@@diamondobrien3040 Sorry to hear that. Do you have a total loss of vision in that eye? You may need a second procedure. Check your Doctors success rate, my Doctor was a 1 in 10 failure rate. So I chose the surgery.

Yes. Question s ??

I had mine over 10 years ago. They knocked me out for just a short period and told me that would happen but I'd come back to very quickly but still sedated. They said that was to put the ports into the eye and once they were done I'd wake right up and that's exactly how I remember it.

I actually had cataract surgery in both eyes prior to the vitrectomies and was a little concerned about having implanted lenses. Everything turned out great and I'd do it all over again if I had to.. @@user-hq4jz6lc9d

Did anyone who had a vitrectomy have to take atropine sulfate drops twice per day after your surgery? These are the drops that dilate your pupil. I had to take this along with two other drops after my surgery on March 9, 2024. The surgery went well and on my follow up on March 18, my ophthalmologist told me to stop taking all of the drops except one. It’s been ten days since I’ve taken the atropine drops but my pupil is still dilated. I don’t know if it’s too soon to be worried. My gas bubble hasn’t shrunk enough to know if my vision is better yet; I had a detached retina. My next follow up isn’t for another three weeks. I can call them but I was wondering if anyone else had to take atropine drops after their surgery.

Can you sleep on your side the night after surgery and so on

I have endopthalmitis infection in my eye so they are just removing the gel. I sure hope I’m not going to have to lie face down. That scares me due to neck and back problems not to mention utter boredom.

I'm having second thoughts because I don't think I can keep my head down that long in the daytime

Don't worry, it's easy and quick surgery. They have a chair that they sell just for you to keep your head down. You can watch movies on your mobile phone with your head down with that special chair. You will be fine.

I would like to know what determines which patients stay overnight and which patients go home the same day following surgery.

Hello! We reached out to surgeons to find out! On a very high level, it's surgeon-specific and related to medical conditions and complexity. Factors include: is patient from outside of Winnipeg? Would patients prefer to stay? Are patients able to position themselves properly after surgery (if positioning is required). Some surgeons offer all patients the opportunity to stay overnight or go home.

Is this the same procedure for floaters?

the recovery seems like torture and on the other end you can expect vision that is not great.

At least 2 weeks. And then as much as possible for 2 more weeks.

I'm having this done in a week 2023 September. 28th. I have NO Vision loss,,, However I've been told to do this. " caught early " doc says. Am I doing the right thing ??????? Help .. 😢

I was sedated, and only took 45 minutes. The only thing after surgery your eye can be itchy. Try to put cold soft cold pack on it. It will take 4 to 6 weeks to see good.

@@benedettocracolici197 Thank you much, Benedetto. I had to have a vitrectomy because of vitreal hemorrhage due to a botched repair on a torn retina. The vitrectomy was 12 March 2024. The next day I went back and they took the patch off my eye. I was disappointed that I could not see clearly yet at that time. My eye was left half full of air and half full of saline solution. I could see this line running horizontally across my field of view in that eye. Lol, it seemed like I had a bubble level in my eye. I joked that I could maybe fly an airplane without instruments, as I had my own, built-in 'artificial horizon' or even a 'turn and bank indicator'. 😎 The air bubble was expected to be absorbed by my body and the space filled with natural fluid from my body. The air bubble has gradually moved down as the space is filled with fluid. As of this writing, 17 March, the bubble is all but gone and my vision is nearly as clear as the other eye now. I do still have some black dot floaters in there yet. I'm wondering if they will settle out, as they seem to have the same durn specific gravity as the fluid, and just want to hang there. The surgeon told me to expect to get a cataract in that eye, which I guess is typical. Good luck to you!
