What to Expect After Vitrectomy Surgery/ Vitreo Retinal surgery Postoperative Course and Care
Vitrectomy is a surgical procedure in which the vitreous gel that fills the posterior chamber/cavity of the eye is removed to treat eye problems associated with retina or the vitreous. This surgery offers better access to the retina of the eye for different treatments like repair of retinal detachments, removal of scar tissue and treatment of macular holes.
As the process of ageing starts, the signs and symptoms of the body’s wear and tear become more visible and eyes are no exception. Age-related eye conditions and changes start to occur. Some people find it difficult to focus and have blurred vision. The not-so-serious refractive problems can be corrected with the help of glasses. However, serious eye diseases can affect the eyes drastically at any age and if left untreated can lead to vision loss.
The light-sensitive layer of retinal cells converts light into electrical signals which are then sent to the brain where they are turned into the images we see. A brilliant network of tiny blood vessels constantly supplies blood to the retina.
Millions of people across the globe wear contact lenses either for cosmetic, therapeutic purposes or to enjoy a clear full field vision.
If you think your eyesight is normal and you are not wearing specs too, chances are, you have hardly visited an ophthalmologist. Most of the eye disorders are detected too late with the underlying conditions having progressed far enough to warrant a consultation with a specialist.
