What is Vitrectomy?
Vitrectomy is an advanced eye surgery used to treat problems related to the retina and vitreous (gel inside the eye). During this procedure, the surgeon removes the vitreous gel and replaces it with a clear solution, gas, or silicone oil to improve vision. This surgery helps restore proper light flow to the retina and allows doctors to repair internal eye damage effectively.
