It was up on legs about 10 inches high, so he could put a plate of food under it, or a book or any thing he needed to have in front of his face, and he remained in that postition for the entire period. Something having to do with the retina "floating" to the top (the back when looking downward) and remaining in place during the healing process. Better than being blind, but a major pain in the neck (figuratively and literally). Please report on eye doctor visit.
