Vitrectomy Surgery

Vitrectomy surgery involves removing the vitreous gel from the eye. There are numerous retinal conditions where vitrectomy can help improve vision. It is most commonly performed to repair retinal detachments, macular puckers, and macular holes and to remove vitreous floaters, hemorrhage and retained cataract fragments. Vitrectomy is performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient at an ambulatory surgery center using an operating microscope.
