Choosing Burjeel Medical City for Vitrectomy gives patients access to experienced retinal specialists, high-resolution diagnostic imaging, and modern vitreoretinal surgical technology.

Vitrectomy may be considered when bleeding, scar tissue, abnormal vitreous changes, or retinal disorders significantly affect vision. The procedure involves removing the vitreous gel through small surgical openings and treating the underlying cause. For example, the surgeon may remove scar tissue causing retinal traction or repair a detached retina. A gas bubble or silicone oil may be placed inside the eye when additional internal support is needed. Patients receiving a gas bubble may need to follow specific positioning instructions and avoid air travel until the gas has completely resolved.
