Vitrectomy is an eye surgery used to treat serious retinal diseases. The vitreous is a clear, jelly-like fluid that fills the back of the eye and helps maintain its shape — similar to how air keeps a balloon inflated.
In certain diseases, the vitreous becomes cloudy or pulls on the retina. In such cases, it may need to be removed and replaced. Vitrectomy is the surgical procedure used to remove and replace this fluid.
Our experienced retina surgeons perform vitrectomy using advanced microsurgical techniques.
