Vitrectomy Face Down
Recovery Equipment
*CREATED FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE*
ESSENTIAL EQUIPMENT TO RECOVER WITH VIRTUALLY NECK PAIN-FREE MOBILITY
We challenge you to take the face-down positioning test RIGHT NOW:
Sit at your kitchen table with your head face down on a pillow for 4 hours, then, keeping your head in the face down position, get up and walk around your home for 20 minutes. Now realize doing this all day and night for at least 3 days non-stop or even up to two weeks?!!!.
The FaceDownWalker is a modern, innovative vitrectomy face-down recovery device designed to enhance traditional vitrectomy recovery equipment, such as repurposed massage chairs and face-down pillows. It redefines the face-down recovery experience by allowing mobility, rather than forcing patients to remain in a single, stationary position for days, all while maintaining the proper face-down positioning essential for healing after vitrectomy surgery.
Unlike standard vitrectomy recovery chairs and donut-shaped pillows, which often place pressure on the surgical eye, the FaceDownWalker features a forehead pad that eliminates direct facial contact. This significantly reduces discomfort, making it a valuable addition to existing vitrectomy recovery setups.
Traditional post-vitrectomy recovery methods require prolonged sitting, which can lead to physical discomfort and emotional strain. The FaceDownWalker promotes emotional well-being through mobility, giving patients the freedom to move, sit at a table, or use a hard-backed chair while maintaining the necessary face-down posture. This makes it an ideal complement to stationary recovery solutions, offering greater comfort and flexibility throughout the healing process.
With its tech-forward design, the FaceDownWalker re-defines the vitrectomy recovery experience, making it more manageable, less restrictive, and significantly more comfortable. It’s not about replacing traditional methods—it’s about expanding and enhancing your options for a smoother, easier recovery.

Why Do I Need the FaceDownWalker?
After retinal surgery for a macular hole, macular pucker or detached retina, a gas bubble or gel is placed in your eye to hold the retina in place. Staying in a face-down position ensures proper healing. Without the right support, this position can cause:
- Severe Neck Pain: Holding your head down for hours strains your neck and shoulders.
- Emotional Stress: Anxiety and claustrophobia are common during recovery.
- Complications: Failing to stay face-down can result in poor surgical outcomes or additional procedures.
The FaceDownWalker® eliminates these concerns by offering a mobile, comfortable solution that keeps you compliant with your recovery plan.

STRESS-FREE MOBILITY TO MOVE ABOUT YOUR HOME
What Makes the FaceDownWalker Unique?
The FaceDownWalker® is the only patented mobile vitrectomy face down recovery head support device available. It stands out with features such as:
- No Pressure on Chin or Face: Unlike a vitrectomy chair or a face down pillow, the forehead sling transfers the weight of your head to the backpack, relieving facial and neck strain.
- Freedom to Move: Walk, sit, or stand—this device allows you walk around during recovery.
- Adjustable Design: Easy-to-adjust straps ensure a perfect fit for maximum comfort.
- Lightweight and Portable: Move around your home stress-free.
How Does It Work?
The FaceDownWalker® uses a forehead pad and adjustable straps to distribute the weight of your head to a comfortable backpack. This design reduces muscle strain while allowing you to:
- Walk Around Your Home: Stay active, relieve stiff muscles and maintain blood flow.
- Sit in Hard-Backed Chairs: Use chairs or stools you already own, with added cushions if needed.
- Alternate Positions: Combine with other vitrectomy recovery equipment, such as a vitrectomy chair or a face down pillow, for variety and comfort.
What Are Customers Saying?
"As a retired RN of 30 years, I knew I needed to be prepared for my macular hole surgery and for the face-down recovery period of 5 days. I was not prepared for the significant neck pain I experienced while actually trying to use the usual face-down equipment. When I switched to the FaceDownWalker®, my neck and shoulder pain went away within minutes! It gave me the much-needed break from the static positioning of the other face-down equipment."
• Sarah D. - Sacramento, California
“The FaceDownWalker should be considered mandatory medical equipment post-retinal surgery—period. Despite reading online about what to expect during face-down recovery, nothing prepared us for the reality. Wayde’s immediate response and next-day shipping gave us hope. My husband could walk on the deck, enjoy the sunshine, and finally find relief from face and shoulder pain. This device saved us!”
- Staci - North Carolina
"It is an essential tool for keeping compliant for face-down positioning. I have no doubt that my rapid macular hole closure was due to strictly adhering to face-down positioning. I could not do it without your equipment. Thank you for your guidance and suggestions. Your service was outstanding.”
- Ron M. - Salt Lake City, UT
"My fiancé really enjoyed the FaceDownWalker®, it was a big relief that he could walk outside and around the house without jeopardizing the doctors’ orders to keep his head down. And he was so tired of the chair. Good luck with your business, I hope more people will come to know about it! Thank you so much!"
• G.F. - Florida
Thank you very much for this invention. It was very helpful in keeping me sane during my recovery. My doctor said I could walk around as long as my head was down. This is a fantastic tool for vitrectomy surgery recovery!
Sincerely yours, Cindy"
• Cindy H. - Anchorage, Alaska
"The most accurate and heartfelt words I can say are THANK YOU for inventing a product that no one else is thinking of. This product gave me some semblance of freedom and peace of mind that my eye would heal properly. I am so grateful for my sight and the FaceDownWalker®."
Thank you,
• Rhoda Brawner - Atlanta, Georgia
"If you think keeping your head down is not so bad you probably have another think coming. To try it for a minute or five minutes is one thing but when you get into hours and days, it isn't easy. I am an engineer by occupation and I really appreciate a good design and the FaceDownWalker® is one. I heartily recommend it because it was most comforting for me and helped make a difficult time much more bearable."
•Gary K. - Arcadia, CA

For Your Recovery, For Your Comfort, For Your Vision—Rent a FaceDownWalker® Today.
The forehead pad on the FaceDownWalker® takes all of the weight of your head off of your neck. You may sit on most of your own kitchen chairs, hard-backed chairs, stools or ottomans. If needed, add a cushion or two to a chair to make it more comfortable to sit on. Plus you can move about your home. Movement is so important to maintain proper blood flow to your muscles and to keep your emotional sense of physical control.
Your head can weigh up to 11 pounds. Your neck is not designed to hold it in the face down position for any significant length of time. The FaceDownWalker® relieves the strain on your neck and the rest of your upper body muscles. The forehead sling of the FaceDownWalker® comfortably transfers the weight of your head to the backpack. There is no pressure on your cheek muscles or chin. Unlike most face down pillow pads on vitrectomy chairs, face down pillows for the bed and neck support pillows, the forehead sling relaxes the muscles in your neck, face, chin and back even if you are not interested in walking around.
