Vitrectomy Surgery for Diabetic Retinopathy

With a vitrectomy, small surgical instruments are used to enter the inside of the eye. Blood and scar tissue are removed, and a laser may be used to prevent further bleeding and abnormal blood vessel growth. To help the retina heal, a gas bubble or silicon oil may be placed in the vitreous space. Learn more at http://www.geteyesmart.org.
