What is Vitreoretinal Surgery?
Vitreoretinal surgery involves delicate procedures performed on the vitreous humor and retina, both of which play vital roles in vision.
Vitreoretinal surgery is a highly specialized field dedicated to addressing complex conditions affecting the vitreous and retina, two critical components of the eye. This advanced surgical approach is instrumental in restoring and preserving vision in cases of retinal diseases, tears, or detachments. At Ayyappa Eye Hospital, our expert vitreoretinal surgeons are committed to providing cutting-edge treatments to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
These surgeries are meticulously designed to treat a range of conditions, including:
Retinal Detachment:
Vitreoretinal surgery is often employed to repair retinal detachments, a serious condition where the retina pulls away from its normal position.
Macular Holes:
Surgical intervention can address macular holes, small breaks in the center of the retina that can significantly impact central vision.
Diabetic Retinopathy:
For patients with diabetic retinopathy, vitreoretinal surgery may be recommended to address complications such as vitreous hemorrhage or tractional retinal detachment.
Epiretinal Membrane:
Vitreoretinal surgery can be used to remove the epiretinal membrane, a thin layer of scar tissue that can distort vision.
Retinal Vascular Diseases:
Conditions like retinal vein occlusion or arterial macroaneurysms may require vitreoretinal surgery to manage complications and preserve vision.

Before recommending vitreoretinal surgery, our specialists conduct a thorough evaluation, including advanced imaging techniques, to precisely diagnose the condition and tailor a treatment plan.
