What is Vitreo Retinal Surgery?

Vitreoretinal surgery is a type of eye surgery that involves delicate procedures on the retina and vitreous. These procedures are often necessary to treat conditions that are affecting vision, such as diabetic eye disease, retinal detachment, macular degeneration, a macular hole, and more. Our experienced surgeons at the Center for Retina and Macular Disease utilize advanced techniques to address various retina diseases, helping to restore and preserve your vision.

Signs You Should Meet with an Eye Specialist Include:

• Sudden blurred or double vision
• Eye pain or discomfort
• Flashes of light or floaters
• Red, swollen, or inflamed eyes
• Unusual sensitivity to light
• Chronic dry eyes or excessive tearing
• Difficulty seeing at night
• Distorted vision or wavy lines
• Eye injury affecting vision
• Family history of eye diseases

If you experience any of the above, a member of our team can evaluate your eye and determine the appropriate next steps for treatment.
