After silicone oiling, you should lie down for 5 to 24 hours a day, depending on the recovery time after surgery. Silicone oiling generally refers to the implantation of silicone oil into the vitreous cavity, which is mainly suitable for retinal detachment surgery. The implantation of silicone oil mainly plays a role in the adherence of silicone oil buoyancy to the retina, which further promotes the detachment of the retina to reset. 1. Within two weeks after the surgery, the patient should be lying on his/her stomach for 24 hours. When lying on his/her stomach, his/her head should be kept in the prone position as much as possible, which will help the silicone oil to press against the retina. If it is difficult to lie down for 24 hours, you can try to turn over and rest for about 10-20 minutes, and then continue to maintain the lying position. 2. Within 1 month after surgery, try to stay in the lying position for more than 12 hours. 3. 1 month after surgery, the lying position can be reduced to about 5-10 hours a day. 4. After 3 months after surgery, the time spent lying on your back can be adjusted to 5 hours or more. After retinal surgery, patients need to recuperate, bed lying down is a necessary way, must follow the doctor’s requirements strictly, in order to help the condition of rapid recovery.
