Since the launch of Retina Recovery Inc. in 2015, I'm seen a slight protocol change when it comes to recovering from macular hole surgery. Keeping in mind that different Retinal Surgeons/Ophthalmologists have different protocols, these are only generalities as we have watched several thousand people to-date recover facedown.
Gas Bubble:
- Facedown Requirement: 5-7 Days
- Resuming Regular Activities: 4-6 Weeks
- Gas Bubble Absorption: 2-3 Weeks
NOTE: Reviewing our past rentals it is our belief that we have never had anyone need to repeat surgery to repair a macular hole if their protocol was at least 5 days in length AND required to be facedown 80% of a 24 hour period.
IMPORTANT: Compliance to your Retinal Surgeon/Ophthalmologist is CRITICAL for your success.
