What Is a Vitrectomy?
It’s a type of eye operation. A doctor removes the vitreous, jelly-like fluid inside your eye, and replaces it with a saline solution to provide better access to the retina. This allows for a variety of repairs, including the removal of scar tissue, laser repair of retinal detachments, and treatment of macular holes.
VITREOUS SURGERY (VITRECTOMY)
Vitreous surgery is performed in the operating room and the substantial majority of cases are accomplished on an outpatient basis. Every vitreous surgical procedure involves entering the large space inside the eye (the vitreous cavity) and removing vitreous – hence the synonymous term “vitrectomy”. The volume previously occupied by the vitreous gel is replaced either with a saline solution, a gas bubble or a liquid material called silicone oil. Removal of vitreous is only the initial part of any such procedure however and permits the retinal surgeon to perform a variety of other surgical interventions.

Your general health such as your heartbeat and blood tests will be evaluated. You will be advised on what pre-operative preparations you need to make, such as altering medications.
Recovery Time

You will need 2 to 4 weeks to recover before you can do your normal activities again. It may take longer for your vision to get back to normal.
