Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether adopting different head positions following surgery for macula involving retinal detachments, can reduce retinal displacement and visual distortion. The investigators plan to recruit 368 patients. Patients will be in follow up for a period of six months. The study will be operational at two different hospitals in the United Kingdom.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Face Down
To posture in the face down position for the first 24 hours following surgery.
No interventions assigned to this group
Position to Support the Break
The head is positioned so that the retinal breaks (which caused the retinal detachment) are positioned at the highest point of the eye and well supported by the intra-ocular gas bubble left within the eye at the completion of surgery.
No interventions assigned to this group
