Hello i recently had retinal detachment surgery 8 days ago, my question is im a medical patient in michigan. i have really bad insomnia . i have a bubble in my eye but no buckle and i only have to face down for sleep. would edibles affect my results?

Head positioning is very important following retinal detachment repair. Edibles per se won't affect the prognosis so long as you are able to maintain the head down positioning.
