A one-page care plan for patients having RETINAL DETACHMENT REPAIR, covering Purpose, Prevention & Protection, Expectations & Execution, Next Steps, Consistency, Clarity & Care, Indications and Lifestyle & Long-Term Success.
In this plan
Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I know a detached retina can cause permanent vision loss and understand how quickly my surgeon recommends treatment.
- I know whether I need a gas bubble, scleral buckle, vitrectomy, laser, freezing treatment, or a combination.
- I review the benefits, alternatives, and risks, including infection, bleeding, pressure changes, cataract, and redetachment.
- I follow instructions for food, drink, medicines, and arrival and arrange a driver and home support after surgery.
