How long is the typical treatment + recovery timeline?

The surgical procedure itself takes about 1–2 hours, and patients usually stay in the hospital for 1–3 days for monitoring. Recovery varies: with gas tamponade, patients must maintain a specific head position for 1–2 weeks, and vision gradually improves over 4–6 weeks; with oil tamponade, the oil is removed in a second surgery after 3–6 months. Full visual recovery can take several months, and most patients can resume normal activities within 4–6 weeks.
