Patient information - after surgery

The following are links to leaflets and web sites that we think may be useful to patients attending one of our hospitals for a day surgery procedure.

For a full listing of available resources please go to the Trust’s web directory of patient information

Title
Positioning (Posturing) following vitreoretinal surgery to your eye
Author
Ophthalmology
Description
Following surgery to your eye you need to ‘posture’ because you have a gas bubble inside your eye. This is very important and the success of the operation will depend on your ability to ‘posture’ as instructed. This leaflet explains why posturing is important and provides advice on what to do once you return home after your procedure.
