Retinal Detachment Surgery

Retinal detachment surgery, known as vitrectomy, is a procedure to repair a retina that has pulled away from the back of the eye, which can cause vision loss or blindness if untreated. It is done to reattach the retina and restore vision.

You’re likely to be under local or general anesthesia throughout the operation, meaning you won’t feel a thing. However, it is essential to recognize that while the surgery itself is relatively straightforward, the recovery can be a bit tricky. It often takes several weeks for your eye to fully heal and your vision to improve.
