Restoring Clear Vision with
Vitrectomy Surgery
What is Vitrectomy Surgery?
Vitrectomy is a highly precise surgical procedure performed by a retinal specialist to treat diseases of the retina and vitreous. It involves the removal of the vitreous humor (the gel-like substance that fills the eye) to gain access to the retina.
This allows the surgeon to perform a variety of delicate repairs, such as removing scar tissue, reattaching a detached retina, or clearing blood from a hemorrhage, with minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissue.
Conditions We Treat
Diabetic Retinopathy
We address complications of diabetes, including blood vessel damage and scar tissue formation, to prevent permanent vision loss.
Retinal Detachment
Our surgeons expertly reattach the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, to restore vision and prevent blindness.
Macular Hole
We can repair a tear in the macula, the center of the retina, to improve or restore your sharp, central vision.
Vitreous Hemorrhage
This procedure clears blood from the vitreous, which can cause severe vision blockage, giving you back clear sight.
Epiretinal Membrane
We delicately remove a thin layer of scar tissue that can form on the retina, which can cause distorted vision.
Dislocated Lens
Our surgeons can safely remove or reposition a lens that has shifted out of place after a previous cataract surgery.
