Vitreoretinal

Vitreoretinal refers to the specialised field of ophthalmology focused on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the vitreous body and retina, collectively known as vitreoretinal disorders.

This area of eye care encompasses a range of advanced surgical techniques and treatments designed to address complex retinal issues such as retinal detachment, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and vitreous haemorrhage. Vitrectinal procedures, including vitrectomy, retinal laser therapy, and injection therapies, aim to restore or preserve vision by repairing or managing damage to the retina and vitreous body. These procedures often require precise and delicate techniques to achieve optimal outcomes, and they are performed by ophthalmologists with specialised training in vitreoretinal surgery. The goal of vitrectinal treatments is to improve visual function and quality of life for patients with serious retinal conditions.
