About Vitrectomy

Vitrectomy surgery is the procedure of removing vitreous gel from the eye. The vitreous can be removed for a variety of reasons. The most common reason is to access your retina. The procedure allows the doctor to address the issues that are affecting the patient's vision and preserve it.

The retina is the eye component that sends signals from the brain to the eye. If it is damaged or has some other problem, the light cannot reach the retina, and the patient cannot see. If you've been having serious vision problems due to retinal disorders, get in touch with the best eye specialists to undergo vitrectomy surgery in Chennai at a reasonable price.

Vitrectomy

Treatment Procedure (Vitrectomy Steps)

Step 1: Anesthesia

Local or general anesthesia is administered to numb the eyes.

Step 2: Eye Preparation

A lid speculum is placed in the eye to hold it open.

Step 3: Incision

The surgeon makes an incision in the white part of the eye (sclera) to access the internal eye components.

Step 4: Removal of Vitreous Humor

The vitreous humor is removed entirely or partially to extract scar tissues or foreign materials.

Step 5: Retinal Repair

If the retina has a tear, hole, or swelling, the tear/hole is closed with laser or cryopexy to reattach the retinal tissues.

Step 6: Gas Bubble (If Required)

In some cases, a gas bubble may be inserted to keep the retinal tissues in place.

Step 7: Replacement of Vitreous

The vitreous humor is replaced with saline or silicone oil.

Step 8: Closing the Incision

After the eye problems are resolved, the surgeon closes the incision using stitches.

Step 9: Eye Cleaning Patch

The eye is cleaned, antibiotic ointment is applied, and the eye is covered with a patch.

Step 10: Second Eye (If Required)

The same steps are repeated on the other eye as required.
