Vitrectomy Survival

If you or someone close to you is facing vitrectomy surgery and the challenging recovery that follows, you will find in this book the answers to your questions. You will find all that you need to cope, survive, and flourish.

You can inform yourself thoroughly without exhausting your patience searching for fragmentary, scattered information on the Internet. You will also relieve your fears.

The author underwent successful vitrectomy surgery twice and knows what he is talking about. The personal experience shared in this book and the solid information given will help you overcome the uncertainty and fear that you may experience both before and after the surgery.

Not a medical compendium, this book is written in clear language from the point of view of the person facing a vitrectomy. Illustrations show actual photographs of the author’s eye before and after surgery.

After you read this book, you will have a thorough grasp of everything that you need to know about vitrectomy surgery as well as how to insure a successful recovery process—all thoroughly explained and presented in clear, unforbidding language. There is even some humor as Mr. Vitrectomy, Ms. FaceDown, and Mr. Gas Bubble give interviews to Worried Patient.

After reading the author’s own story in the Prologue, you will find three chapters devoted to: 1) Vitrectomy Basics; 2) Face-Down Recovery; and 3) Long-Term Healing.

You will learn about:
FOUR Problems a Vitrectomy Can Help
FIVE Most Important Facts about Vitrectomy
FIVE Crucial Tips for Successful Recovery
THREE Necessary Post-Op Precautions
THREE Key Questions for Your Doctor
PRECAUTIONS during recovery

This is the only book on the subject written from the patient’s point of view by someone who has experienced TWO vitrectomies.
