What is Vitreoretinal Surgery?

Vitreoretinal Surgery is a type of eye surgery that treats problems with the retina, the thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye responsible for sending visual signals to the brain. The most common reason for vitreoretinal Surgery is to treat a retinal detachment, which occurs when the retina pulls away from the back of the eye. Surgery also treats other conditions, such as macular holes, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration.

Most vitreoretinal Surgery is performed using a technique called pars plana vitrectomy. In this procedure, small incisions are made in the white part of the eye, and special instruments are used to remove the gel-like substance that fills the inside (vitreous). This allows the surgeon to access and repair the retina. In some cases, laser therapy or cryotherapy (freezing) may be used instead of or in addition to Surgery.

Vitreoretinal Surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis, which means you can go home the same day as your procedure. Recovery time varies depending on your surgery type, but it generally takes several weeks before vision improves. You will likely need to see your doctor for follow-up appointments after surgery so they can monitor your progress and check for any complications.
