Vitrectomy
Vitreous body is a clear gel-like fluid that fills the eyeball. It fills
two third of eye volume and shapes the eye. Vitrectomy (drainage of vitreous
body) is reserved for problems that occur in posterior part of the eye.
Following vitrectomy operation, the space is filled with aqueous humor and
various feeding fluids that are produced by the eye.
Vitrectomy can be used for removing blood and various freely floating
objects in eye, debriding damaged tissues and eliminating their negative
effects on retina. Blood, damaged cells and wound tissues cause blurred vision
as light cannot be accurately focused on retina. Moreover, if vitreal fluid
poses retraction effect over retina, vitrectomy may be required to drain this
fluid.
Some
conditions requiring vitrectomy are as follows:
Complications
like retinal tear and hemorrhage secondary to diabetic retinopathy
Macular
holes
Retinal
detachments
Intra-retinal
membrane formation
Intraocular
hemorrhages (vitreous bleedings)
Intraocular
injuries
Some
problems arising out of various past ophthalmological surgical
interventions
Retinal surgery is performed with a microscope and some special lenses that
are used to better visualize posterior side of eye. Several small incisions are
made on sclera (upper layer of eye). Microsurgical devices are inserted to
intraocular area through those incisions.
