After Vitrectomy eye surgery, a patient must keep a face down position for 1-6 weeks. We know this can be difficult. Our support products can help. Face Down Solutions is a network of dedicated, family-owned companies renting quality face down support equipment to Vitrectomy patients across America. We have over 30 years of combined experience working with over 20, 000 Vitrectomy patients. We ship our support products days in advance of surgery to give each patient free time to become familiar with their equipment. As a courtesy, the rental period does not begin until the day of surgery. Plus, we offer friendly, toll-free phone and e-mail support to answer any questions our customers might have before and after their Vitrectomy surgery.What can I expect from my recovery?Physicians will vary on their protocol for how long you will need to keep your head down.

This is a tough question, for it varies with each individual. An average scenario may be 3-5 weeks, but may be shorter or longer. Regardless, it does not harm your eye, but can create some sight aggravation. It is common for people to see floaters, multiple colors, jiggling bubble movement and multiple little bubbles. For example, as the bubble shrinks in size it may break off into little bubbles that may appear as dark specs across the eye or even make you think there are little insects flying around you. You may go to sleep and the next morning the little bubbles have reformed a single bubble, but smaller in size. Do not make any judgment on your condition based on the progression of the bubble. Simply let it do its job and it will get out of your eye within a few weeks.What are the effects of keeping my head down?Obviously, stiff neck and back are common with keeping your head down, but there are some other things that may occur.- After a few days of having your head down, you may get nasal congestion.
