Vitrectomy Surgery

Introduction

Vitrectomy is a surgical procedure used to treat specific disorders of the retina and vitreous humor in the eye, including those in individuals with diabetes. The surgery involves removing blood or debris that may be blocking the path of light to the retina, typically caused by infection or inflammation. In some cases, the surgeon may also choose to drain and replace the vitreous humor, which is a clear gel-like substance in the middle of the eye, with a saline solution. Additionally, if there is a cloudy lens (cataract), it may be replaced with an artificial lens during the procedure.
