What is Vitrectomy?
Vitrectomy is a specialized eye surgery that removes the vitreous humor (gel inside the eye) and replaces it with a clear solution, gas bubble, or silicone oil. It is performed to treat serious conditions of the retina, macula, and vitreous, including retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, macular hole, and scar tissue formation. This surgery often restores sight or prevents blindness, making it one of the most important procedures in ophthalmology.
