About us

Vitrectomy is a microsurgical procedure used to treat certain retinal disorders such as macular hole, macular pucker, retinal detachment, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, intraocular infections, and traumatic eye injuries. Using specially designed instruments and techniques, the vitrectomy procedure involves removing the vitreous gel through a very small incision in the eye wall. The vitreous gel is replaced with a saline solution. Then, using a high intensity fiber optic light source, your surgeon (an eye doctor called an ophthalmologist) will use a specially designed microscope that allows for a clear view of the vitreous cavity and retina at different magnification to perform any additional work if necessary, such as removal of scar tissue (macular pucker, tractional detachment) or close a macular hole. This same-day surgical procedure is usually performed by a retina specialist under local anesthesia and intravenous sedation.
