retinal surgery
Retinal surgery is a medical procedure aimed at treating various conditions affecting the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. Common reasons for this surgery include retinal detachment, macular hole, and diabetic retinopathy. The goal is to restore or preserve vision by repairing or removing damaged tissue.
The surgery can be performed using different techniques, such as vitrectomy, where the vitreous gel is removed to access the retina, or laser therapy, which uses focused light to seal leaks or create new blood vessels. Recovery time varies, and follow-up care is essential for optimal results.
