About Vitreo Retinal Surgery

Vitreo Retinal Surgery is a specialized microsurgical procedure performed by an ophthalmologist to treat disorders of the vitreous gel and retina at the back of the eye. This delicate surgery addresses conditions that threaten central vision, such as retinal detachment, macular holes, and complications from diabetic retinopathy. Using advanced microscopic instruments, the surgeon may remove the vitreous gel (vitrectomy), repair retinal tears with laser or cryotherapy, and often inject a gas bubble or silicone oil to support the retina during healing. As a minimally invasive technique, it aims to preserve or restore vision by stabilizing the delicate retinal tissue. Success depends on the underlying condition and timely intervention.

Key Highlights

Advanced microsurgical technique to preserve or restore central vision.Minimally invasive approach with small incisions for faster recovery.Addresses sight-threatening conditions like retinal detachment and macular holes.Often performed as a day procedure or with a short hospital stay.Utilizes state-of-the-art technology including laser and microscopic instruments.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to a couple of...

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Karunakaran actually listened. He asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the standard scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I had the surgery at MGM last month and feel like myself again.
