What is Vitrectomy?

Vitrectomy is a medical procedure in which a gas bubble or oil is inserted inside your eye as a replacement to a condensed and fibrous vitreous fluid. A vitrectomy may be performed to clear blood and debris from the eye, to remove scar tissue, or to alleviate traction on the retina. This is an easy, painless procedure with a successful track record of improving or virtually restoring vision. Upon insertion, the gas bubble rises and applies pressure to the area that needs healing. However, since the retina is at the back of the eye, the gas bubble will only apply pressure to the top of the eye, and not the retina.

To correct this is by simply having your head facing down. It is also very challenging to keep your face down while sleeping when there is a possibility of roll overs.

Our innovative Basic, Deluxe, and 3-Piece Cushion System can help; our ergonomic products are designed to help you keep your head down comfortably. It helps you make sure you don't roll over to your side when you are asleep. And most importantly, it is safe to use and easy to adjust!
