Description of Vitrectomy Surgery:

What is Vitrectomy Surgery?
Vitrectomy surgery is a surgical procedure to remove vitreous gel from the eye. Vitrectomy surgery is often the first step in an eye surgery procedure and is carried out to repair retinal detachment, repair extensive tears in the retina, treat proliferative retinopathy, clear severe cases of vitreous floaters, repair a macular pucker, or as part of the procedure to treat diabetic retinopathy. Vitrectomy surgery is also used to clear blood in the vitreous gel if it fails to clear naturally.

Recovery
- Patients usually resume normal activities after 1 or 2 days, although should avoid strenuous activities or those that put pressure on the eye. - Full recovery usually occurs 6 weeks after the surgery.

After care
- Use eye drops to minimize infection and promote healing. - Avoid heavy lifting and air travel until the eye has sufficiently healed. - If a gas bubble has been used, you will need to position your head in a specific way to maintain the retina’s position. - Take pain killers and apply ice compresses to alleviate pain.
