Understanding Vitrectomy
Vitrectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing the vitreous humor, the gel-like substance filling the space between the lens and the retina, to treat various eye conditions. This surgery is commonly used to address issues such as retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, macular holes, and vitreous hemorrhage. The procedure aims to improve vision by resolving underlying problems within the vitreous body and the retina.
Symptoms of Vitrectomy
- Retinal Detachment: A condition where the retina separates from the back of the eye, potentially leading to vision loss.
- Diabetic Retinopathy: Damage to the retina caused by diabetes, which can lead to bleeding or scarring.
- Macular Hole: A defect in the central part of the retina (macula) that can cause blurred or distorted vision.
- Vitreous Hemorrhage: Bleeding into the vitreous humor, which can obstruct vision and may be caused by various underlying conditions.
