Frequently Asked Questions

Why is face-down positioning required after certain eye surgeries?
Some vitreoretinal procedures, such as macular hole repair, require the surgeon to inject a gas bubble into the eye to tamponade the retina or seal the hole. Face-down positioning keeps the gas bubble in contact with the area being treated, which is critical for the success of the procedure. The duration and strictness of face-down positioning requirements vary by procedure and surgeon protocol — always follow your surgeon's specific post-operative instructions.

How long will I need to use this pillow after eye surgery?
The required duration of face-down positioning after vitreoretinal surgery varies depending on the specific procedure, the type of gas bubble used, and your surgeon's protocol. Positioning requirements can range from several days to several weeks. Your retinal surgeon will provide specific instructions for your recovery — this pillow is designed to support whatever duration of prone positioning is prescribed.

Does this pillow come with a cover?
Please verify package contents at the time of purchase. A pillowcase or cover may be used over the foam for hygiene. Standard pillow covers may not accommodate the face cutout — check with your surgeon's office or a medical supply provider for compatible face-down recovery pillow covers if needed.

Can this pillow be used for massage therapy?
Yes. In addition to post-eye surgery recovery use, this face-down pillow can be used for prone positioning during massage therapy sessions, providing a comfortable face-down rest position on a massage table or flat surface.
