Can you sit with your head down after mesh debridement?

Mesh detachment refers to the postoperative period after retinal detachment surgery, and generally in the early postoperative period, patients need to remain in a prone position and can sit with their head down. After retinal detachment surgery, patients should be careful not to do strenuous exercise, and should follow the doctor’s instructions for prone and other positions to promote the reset of the mesh. In daily life, patients can sit with their head down, but should avoid strenuous exercise, so as not to cause eye pulling and shock, leading to retinal detachment again, or even hemorrhage. After retinal detachment surgery, patients should also pay attention to medication and eye hygiene, such as tobramycin eye drops, to prevent infection. It is recommended that patients after retinal detachment surgery follow the doctor’s instructions for care, regular review, and timely consultation when discomfort occurs.
