With this procedure, your surgeon will attach a tiny piece of silicone onto the sclera, which is the white part of the eye. It can be performed in conjunction with a vitrectomy or as a stand-alone procedure. Scleral buckling is a surgical procedure used to repair a detached retina. This procedure involved placing a gas bubble in the eye and repairing the retinal tear with laser or cryotherapy. In select cases, a retinal detachment can be repaired in the office with a pneumatic retinopexy. This treatment decreases the chance of fluid entering through the tear. The laser creates tiny scars around the torn area of the retina in order to securely join the retina to the eye wall. This is a laser treatment performed in the clinic for retinal tears or holes. Vitrectomy is an outpatient procedure and is most commonly performed using local anesthesia with IV sedation. The surgery is performed under the microscope while looking through the cornea (the clear part in the front of the eye).
Your surgeon will create three small incisions in the white part of the eye in order to gain access to the back of the eye and the retina. Vitrectomy is a surgical procedure that is used to treat a range of eye conditions including vitreous hemorrhage (blood in the eye), epiretinal membranes, macular holes or retinal detachments. In some cases, more than one treatment is needed. We sometimes recommend this treatment for more severe cases of proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Panretinal Photocoagulation (PRP) Laserīy using a laser to make tiny burns in the peripheral retina, we reduce the signals for the growth of the abnormal blood vessels and cause these vessels to shrink.
These treatments are most commonly used for patients dealing with diabetic retinopathy. Laser surgery is used to seal a blood vessel that is leaking or to stimulate the cells under the retina to absorb the leaked fluid. It shrinks abnormal blood vessels in the retina and also decreases retinal swelling.Īnti-VEGF treatment is commonly used for diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusions and the wet form of macular degeneration. This common treatment is a medical injection that serves two important functions. Our advanced treatments include: Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (Anti-VEGF)
