Vitrectomy is a microsurgical procedure in which the vitreous gel is removed from inside the eye with a small, specialized cutting device, an operating microscope to look into the eye, and microsurgical instruments. Vitrectomy is performed for many conditions including retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, macular pucker or hole, hemorrhage or infection inside the eye, and ocular trauma.
This procedure is performed at the vitreoretinal service at the Rudolf Foundation Clinic by your rcv ophthalmologist.
