Vitrectomy Surgery
Vitrectomy surgery is a specialized procedure performed to address various eye conditions, particularly those affecting the vitreous humour, a gel-like substance within the eye. This surgery involves the removal of the vitreous humour, allowing surgeons to treat conditions such as retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, macular holes, or severe eye injuries. During the procedure, a tiny incision is made, and advanced microsurgical instruments are used to meticulously address the targeted issues. Vitrectomy can help restore or improve vision by clearing clouded or damaged vitreous, promoting better light transmission to the retina. Although recovery times vary, patients often experience improved visual outcomes and an enhanced quality of life following successful vitrectomy surgery.
Ensuring clarity in vision is our prime commitment at Shekar Eye Hospital. In the spectrum of our specialized services, the Vitrectomy Department stands out, dedicated to proficiently addressing disorders related to the eye’s vitreous.
Indications for Vitrectomy
- Macular Holes: Small breaks in the macula, leading to blurred or distorted central vision.
- Vitreous Hemorrhage: Blood leakage into the vitreous, is often a consequence of diabetic retinopathy.
- Retinal Detachment: The detachment of the retina from the underlying tissue.
- Certain Eye Infections: Where clearing the vitreous becomes necessary for treatment.
Our Unique Methodology
Evaluation: Every vitrectomy procedure begins with a comprehensive eye examination. With cutting-edge diagnostic tools, we ensure an accurate assessment of the eye’s condition.
Procedure: In a vitrectomy, the vitreous gel is carefully removed, making it easier to access the retina and treat it. Depending on the patient’s needs, the vitreous may be replaced with a saline solution, or gas bubble.
