MaryEllen I am revocering from a vitrectomy - day 4. I try to keep my head down at all times, but does this mean you cannot read? Watch TV (using a mirror). Should you not move your eyes at all? Please respond. Thanks. 7/27/2009

Ruth Kaplan Additional techniques and equipment assist in the recovery process. These include, but are not limited to, a massage chair, specialized cushions for sleeping, massage therapy, and exercises that can be done with the face down position. Also, correct positioning of the head ring is essential to avoid shoulder, neck and back pain. 12/21/2007
