Procedure
Most retina conditions can be successfully resolved through the use of minimally-invasive microsurgery using state-of-the-art technology.
A vitrectomy is a retina surgery in which the retinologist uses microsurgical tools to remove the gel-like fluid inside the eye (vitreous) in order to make needed repairs, and then refills it with a safe gas or solution, which is then naturally replaced by the eye’s own fluid. This procedure has been in use since the 1970s, and advances in technology and medical understanding of it have combined to make it a routine, safe, and consistent procedure.
Almost always, a vitrectomy is called for in order to reach an underlying problem, therefore the length of surgery depends upon other conditions. Vitrectomy itself is outpatient in nature, has little or no pain, and barely affects the health of the eye.
We only perform Retina Surgery on patients when we think it is in their best interest. Therefore, all patients will consult directly with their CODET doctor, go over examination results, and reach an informed decision, together. Each patient is unique, and so are their conditions. We personalize the treatment for each patient, but, in general, you can expect:

I came here in June, and I had a spill in my left eye. Now I am going for my 4th surgery, but I have improved a lot. When I first came here, I couldn't see clearly and couldn't walk. It was difficult for me, now I have regained my confidence.
