Service Overview
Vitreo-retinal surgery treats problems in the gel (vitreous) and the retina itself. Through tiny ports, the surgeon can remove cloudy gel, peel membranes, close a macular hole, or reattach a detached retina with gas, oil, or laser. It is specialised microsurgery — different from cataract or LASIK — and is planned after OCT, fundus exam, and sometimes FFA or ultrasound.
What It Covers
Retinal detachment repair
Reattaches the retina with vitrectomy, buckle, laser, gas, or oil as needed.
Macular hole and ERM
Peels membranes and closes holes that distort central vision.
Diabetic traction and bleed
Clears haemorrhage and releases scar tissue pulling on the retina.
Who It Is For
Retinal detachment
A curtain, sudden flashes, or a shower of floaters that needs urgent repair.
Macular hole or puckering
Distorted central vision from a hole or epiretinal membrane.
Non-clearing vitreous bleed
Dense haemorrhage, often from diabetes, that does not settle on its own.
How It Works
Imaging and surgical plan
OCT, ultrasound, or FFA define the problem and whether gas or oil is likely.
Microsurgery
Through small ports the vitreous is removed and the retina is treated.
Positioning and review
If gas is used you may need face-down or specific head posture for days.
Why Choose Our VR Theatre
Vitreo-retinal surgery at Neera Eye Centre is led by retina specialists with on-site OCT, laser, and injection backup. Pre-op mapping and post-op reviews stay in the same team so detachment, diabetic, and macular cases are not split across hospitals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is vitrectomy the same as cataract surgery?
No. Cataract surgery replaces the cloudy lens. Vitreo-retinal surgery works behind the lens on the gel and retina.
Will I need to stay in hospital?
Many cases are day-care or a short stay. Detachment repairs may need overnight observation and posture instructions.
Can I fly after gas is put in the eye?
Not until the gas bubble has gone. Cabin pressure can expand the bubble. We will tell you when flying is safe.
