What is Vitrectomy Surgery?

A vitrectomy is a surgical procedure where an ophthalmologist removes the gel-like vitreous humor from the eye to treat various eye conditions. The surgeon makes a small incision during the surgery and uses specialized tools to remove the cloudy or damaged vitreous gel. By removing the affected vitreous, vision can be improved or stabilized.

Why Would I Need This Procedure?

A vitrectomy might be necessary if you’re dealing with:

  • Diabetic retinopathy
  • Retinal detachment
  • Vitreous hemorrhage
  • An infection in the eye
  • Severe eye injury
  • Macular hole
  • Macular pucker
  • Specific issues post-cataract surgery
  • Persistent floaters
