Retina and Vitreous Surgery

What is retina and vitreous surgery?

Retina and vitreous surgery includes procedures used to treat conditions affecting the retina, vitreous, and other structures inside the eye. Surgery may be necessary to preserve or restore vision in conditions such as retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, macular hole, epiretinal membrane, and certain complications of eye diseases.

When is retinal surgery needed?

Surgery may be recommended for retinal detachment or tears, bleeding inside the eye, vitreous disorders, or conditions affecting retinal function. Sudden vision loss, flashes of light, a sudden increase in floaters, or a curtain-like shadow across the field of vision requires urgent ophthalmic evaluation.

What specialist performs retina and vitreous surgery?

These procedures are performed by an ophthalmologist specializing in retina and vitreous surgery. The specialist may use diagnostic tests such as optical coherence tomography, ocular ultrasound, and retinal examination to determine the diagnosis and most appropriate treatment.
