There are several types of retina surgeries, each designed to address specific retinal conditions. Here are some common ones:
- Vitrectomy: This is the most frequently performed retina surgery for detached retina. It involves removing the vitreous gel from the eye to access the retina directly. This allows the retina surgeon to repair retinal tears, detached retina , remove scar tissue, or treat other retinal conditions.
- Retinal Detachment Repair (Retinal Detachment Surgery, detached retina operation ) : This surgery is used to reattach the retina to the back of the eye. It\’s crucial for treating retinal detachment, which can lead to permanent vision loss if not promptly treated.
- Macular Hole Repair: This procedure is used to close a small hole in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision.
- Epiretinal Membrane Removal: This surgery involves removing a thin layer of scar tissue that forms on the macula\’s surface, causing blurred or distorted vision.
- Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment: This includes procedures to stop bleeding, remove scar tissue, and repair retinal damage caused by diabetes.
