Vitrectomy is often needed for conditions like diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, eye injuries, or macular holes. These issues can cause bleeding, scarring, or fluid buildup in the eye. The surgery removes the vitreous gel, clears obstructions, and enables direct treatment of damaged areas, improving vision and preventing further complications. Timely intervention significantly enhances the chances of visual recovery.
What is Vitrectomy Surgery?
Vitrectomy surgery involves removing the vitreous gel from the center of the eye to treat retinal disorders and improve vision. This procedure is commonly used for conditions like retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, macular holes, or vitreous hemorrhage. By clearing the visual pathway and allowing surgical access to the retina, vitrectomy helps restore or preserve eyesight effectively.
