Head Down Position Following Vitrectomy for Macular Hole

Posted By Patient Letter to the Editor On August 18, 2011 @ 11:45 am In Patient Questions,Retina | Comments Disabled

I had a vitrectomy July 12, and spent one week in the head down position.

At my 4 week check, the doctor told me that the hole has not healed yet. I was told to spend two hours a day in the head down position while I still have the gas bubble in my eye.

I return to the doctor in one month. Do you think this additional time in the head down position will heal my macular hole?
