Retina Surgery

Retina surgery, also referred to as vitreoretinal surgery, constitutes a highly specialized medical intervention tailored to address intricate concerns within the rear portion of the eye, namely, the retina. This intricate procedure primarily targets conditions like retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, and macular holes. Skilled ophthalmologists employ microsurgical techniques to meticulously reattach the retina or excise abnormal blood vessels, scar tissue, or other impediments impairing vision. The integration of cutting-edge technologies, including laser technologies and diminutive instruments, has substantially enhanced the success rates of retina surgery.
