Hello, (just FYI)
I truly hope this helps someone regarding travel post a gas bubble used for retinal detachment surgery. I had this surgery three weeks ago about 4 hours from my residence and was told by specialist that travel by car should be ok. About two weeks after the surgery which also included the buckle, a family drove me home. About 3 hours into the drive I literally felt that someone was ripping my eye from its socket; the pain was excruciating. Later, it was confirmed that it was the trip. This is just to let those of concern know that it doesn't have to be a 'plane that can cause damage. Had the trip been just a little longer it could have caused much more severe trauma to my eye.
