What Conditions Does Vitrectomy Treat?

Vitrectomy is commonly used for:

• Retinal Diseases – Such as macular holes and diabetic retinopathy.
• Intraocular Bleeding – Caused by conditions like diabetic eye disease or retinal vein occlusion.
• Macular Disorders – That affect central vision and retinal health.

How is Vitrectomy Performed?

During the procedure:

• The vitreous gel is removed and replaced with fluid or gas to support the retina’s function.
• The surgery is performed under a microscope for precision and accuracy.
• Depending on the case, patients may require an overnight hospital stay for monitoring.
