• The postoperative period and vision restoration

Vitreoretinal surgery means surgical treatment of various pathologies of the posterior segment of an eye – the retina and the vitreous body.

This is one of the most important areas of the modern ophthalmology; it is developing really dynamically.

At Okomedikas Clinic vitreoretinal surgical techniques are used to successfully treat the following eye problems:

• – retinal detachment;
• – proliferative diabetic retinopathy;
• – lamellar macular holes;
• – vitreous hemorrhage;
• – injuries of the retina and the vitreous body;
• – vitreous opacities;
• – lens subluxation and luxation;
• – suture fixation of the iris-lens diaphragm;
• – capsular bag fixation.

When Is Vitreoretinal Surgery Required?

The retina is the fundamental part of the visual system, so its pathological changes lead to significant vision loss, up to complete blindness.

Vitreoretinal surgery provides tremendous opportunities for preservation and restoration of vision. But to perform complex and delicate manipulations of the retina and the vitreous body during a vitreoretinal surgery, a highly qualified ophthalmologist and up-to-date equipment are required. All this is available at Okomedikas Clinic. Here minimally invasive techniques are constantly being refined and improved on an outpatient basis.

Specialists of the Clinic perform seamless surgical procedures with sharp, thin and delicate surgical instruments. It greatly reduces the likelihood of postoperative complications and the time spent near the posterior wall of the eye.

The Postoperative Period and Vision Restoration

After surgery the patients recover rather quickly and can soon go back to their usual life style.

The aim of vitreoretinal surgery is to restore the anatomical structure of the internal parts of the eyeball and to improve visual functions.

“I came to the Clinic with a detached retina. First of all, they examined my eyes and vision thoroughly using an eye exam machine. Then they performed laser photocoagulation of the retina and instilled some eye medications. I liked the level of service. The staff is professional and attentive. I`m feeling much better now.”
