The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye that captures images and sends them to the brain via the optic nerve. The vitreous is a clear, gel-like substance that fills the eye and helps maintain its shape. Several serious eye conditions can affect the retina and vitreous, leading to vision loss if untreated. These include:

• Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) in premature infants
• Retinal Detachment, where the retina peels away from its base
• Vitreous Hemorrhage, where bleeding into the vitreous causes clouding of vision
• Age-related changes and diabetic complications, which can damage the retina

These conditions often require surgical intervention to preserve or restore vision.

Vitreoretinal surgery is a highly specialized field. At our center, these procedures are handled by our experienced visiting expert, Dr. Amberkar. We offer a comprehensive range of surgical options, including:

• Anterior Vitrectomy (removal of the front part of the vitreous)
• Pars Plana Vitrectomy / Trans Pars Plana Vitrectomy (used for deeper retinal issues)
• Macular Hole Repair
• Macular Translocation Surgery
• Other advanced techniques tailored to specific retinal conditions

These procedures help restore vision, relieve symptoms, and prevent further eye damage.
