Vitrectomy for Retinal Detachment

Vitrectomy is a surgical procedure undertaken by a specialist where the vitreous humor gel that fills the eye cavity is removed to provide better access to the retina.

This allows for a variety of repairs, including the removal of scar tissue, blood, diabetic retinopathy complications, laser repair of retinal detachments and treatment of macular holes. Once surgery is complete, saline, a gas bubble or silicone oil may be injected into the vitreous gel to help hold the retina in position.

After surgery

After the surgery, your eye may be swollen, red, or tender for several weeks. You might have some pain in your eye and your vision may be blurry for a few days after the surgery. You will need 2 to 4 weeks to recover before you can do your normal activities again. It may take longer for your vision to get back to normal.

Allow the eye to heal. Don't do things that might cause you to move your head. This includes moving quickly, lifting anything heavy, or doing activities such as cleaning or gardening.

If the doctor used an oil or gas bubble to hold the retina in place, keep your head in a certain position for most of the day and night for 1 to 3 weeks after the surgery. Make a plan for this part of your recovery, because it will be hard to do some daily activities. Do not lie on your back, or the bubble will move to the front of the eye and press against the lens instead of the retina.

Avoid airplane travel until the doctor tells you it is safe. This is because the change in altitude may cause the gas bubble to expand and increase the pressure inside the eye.
