macular hole surgery
I had surgery to repair a macular hole 2 days ago. Have kept my face down til last night. turned over and slept on my back probably for 6 hours (this was night 2 post surgery). Did I do irreparable damage? Today I see a black outline around the outside of my eyeball.is this normal. My vision was20/25 before surgery. I am not diabetic andin good health, age 51 female. Will staying down 6 more days help?
got checked by doc yesterday, everything looks fine. Face up after 6 days now....take it easy for the next 3 weeks!!! Yay!!!!

Sorry but you need to call your surgeon about this. Proper positioning is important to try to obtain the best results but sometimes we all fall a little short to don't beat yourself up over this. I'm sure that continued proper positioning will be quite helpful in your long term recovery.
