While maintaining necessary, strict,
doctor prescribed
face-down positioning the patient can
have eye contact with others,
and can see what's happening in the
room around them whether
lying down (in the bedroom
or living room, family room, etc.)
on the Rite Time Bed Support,
sitting using the Rite Time Portable Support
Table,
standing or walking.
And
the patient can watch the same television as
the rest of the family,
go for
walks in the house and outside (with necessary
caution),
read email,
work on the computer,
etc.
In other words:
The “Make It Rite” Vitrectomy, Face Down
Mirror™ is
included as an integral part of each Rite Time Face Down
Recovery System (www.FaceDownMirror.com and
www.VitrectomyMirror.com)
The “Make It Rite” Mirror™ allows patients who are
maintaining their necessary, doctor prescribed face prone
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;
- experience
right-side-up and print-readable orientation (not backwards
or upside down);
- work
on their computer, read
emails....;
- cautiously walk around and see where they are
walking—inside, outside, short or extended
walks.
BACKGROUND:
The “Make It Rite” Vitrectomy Face Down Mirror™ was invented by
Mr. Alfred J. Heitz and his daughter, Sandra Heitz Willwater,
about a year after his successful vitrectomy macular hole eye
surgery (20/400 to 20/40). During his two-week faceprone
recovery, Mr. Heitz was challenged that every time he looked
in a mirror (while necessarily facing the floor) everything
was not only backwards, but upside down. Mentally he would
have to turn things right side up. After continuing to think
about it, Mr. Heitz designed the "Make It Rite" Vitrectomy,
Face-down Mirror™ which is now included as an integral part
of each Rite Time System for other vitrectomy retina surgery
patients. It's not magic, majiK, or majic--it's an easy view, double
mirror that Mr. Heitz designed in 1995 to assist other
vitrectomy
patients--period. |
