VITRECTOMY SURGERY

What is VITRECTOMY?

Surgery of Retina and posterior segment

Vitrectomy is a surgical procedure that is performed to remove the vitreous gel that fills the posterior segment of the eye ball. This might serve as the ultimate treatment goal in some cases and might serve as a necessity to ease access to the Retina. This procedure serves to take care of numerous Retina problems like Retinal detachment, Macular holes, complicated diabetic changes and vitreous hemorrhage. This is a complicated and sophisticated procedure that requires modern equipment and excellent surgical skills.

In this surgery, an ophthalmologist may:

  • remove blood or other substance keeping light from focusing properly on the retina
  • remove scar tissue that is wrinkling or tearing the retina and causing poor vision
  • help repair a retina that has detached (pulled away) from the eye wall remove a foreign object stuck inside the eye from an injury
