Hi. As you have undergone vitreoretinal surgery with gas injection . Your vision will improve once gas disappears which eventually will happen in 1 to 2 months time . Also it’s better to maintain face down position for 8 to 10 hours a day for 2 weeks .
Good luck

Hello,
If they have placed air bubble ,you will have to sleep in whatever position your doctor has advised. Until it dissolves. Position of sleep depends on where the bubble is,or the area of retina detached.
It is advisable to follow your surgeon's advise and take second opinion after 6 weeks.
