The Rite Time System (and everything included in the System) was initially designed to assist patients who have Vitrectomy Eye Surgery to successfully comply with doctor prescribed face-down, face-prone positioning for as long as the doctor prescribes it for optimal eyesight recovery.  We are the sole providers of this patented System.

The RiteTime System has successfully assisted Vitrectomy patients maintain face-down positioning 24-hours-a-day for two or more weeks, depending on what the doctor prescribes.

The System allows the patient to be in many different places and positions while keeping the back of the head parallel to the floor which is what the true objective is. 

In Sandra's layman's terms:
The doctor removes the vitreous gel, repairs the retina, and inserts a gas bubble, the body then replaces that gas bubble with a natural body fluid.  Literally, the patient can see the liquid as it fills the eye day by day.  When the patient moves their head, the liquid moves back and forth in the eye.

Eyesight recovery is dependent on how well the patient keeps the fluid at the pupil of the eye, thus keeping the back of the eye (the retina where the doctor did the repair) dry.  For optimal eyesight recovery and healing, the gas bubble needs remains pressed against the back of the eye.

Design background--designer's personal vitrectomy experience:
Alfred J. Heitz is a design engineer.  In February 1993, Mr. Heitz discovered he had a macular hole when he closed one eye while driving the car in front of him disappeared (his other eye had been compensating and he was unaware there was a problem or for how long).  The first retina specialist was not very encouraging (this kind of vitrectomy surgery was relatively new at the time), so Al waited a full year before he had Dr. Richard Flindall (now deceased) retina surgeon actually perform the vitrectomy surgery in March of 1994.   Al committed to Dr. Flindall that he would maintain strict 24/7 face prone posturing for two weeks--and hope for the best.  We designed a variety of things that we thought would help him most successfully maintaining his position.  What is now marketed as Rite Time is a far cry from what Al used for his eyesight recovery.  Bottomline, six months or so after his vitrectomy and subsequent cataract surgery, Al wound up with 20/40 in that eye. 

Dr. Flindall wondered why Mr. Heitz wasn't complaining as much about the challenge of the face-down recovery as other patients, and suggested that Al might be able to assist others successfully regain their eyesight.  After a number of design refinements, the Rite Time System has been assisting other vitrectomy patients all over the world affordably, successfully and more comfortably get their eyesight back.

The "Make It Rite" Mirror was invented by Mr. Heitz about a year after his eyesight recovery.  It bothered him the entire time he was maintaining faceprone positioning that when he looked in a mirror everything was upside down and mentally he would have to turn things right side up.  Now the "Make It Rite" (vitrectomy, face-down) Mirror is included as an integral part of each Rite Time System.  It allows patients who are maintaining their prescribed face down positioning to see what's happening in the world around them--have eye contact with others in the room, watch the same television as others in the room, with "rite-side-up" and print-readable (not backwards) orientation.
