Has anyone had eye surgery to treat retinopathy and can recommend any tips or tricks on hope to cope with recovery? I've been told I need to lay face down for 5 days post op, which sounds so awful. Any recommendations for pillows or face supports please? And ideas on how to fill the time / keep myself sane would be appreciated!

I'm also a mum to 2 young children (age 1 and 4) and I'm anxious about how to manage their care and needs while I'm recovering.

TIA.

Hi, did you get any more information? I hope it went well. I am in a similar position and due surgery. Have a 5 year old and 8month old. How was your surgery and recovery? I have asked for time scales and doctors given no information. Is your vision better?

Hope you're doing okay. TIA
