Procedure

How retinal surgeries works.

A step-by-step look at what happens during this procedure.

1

Anaesthesia Administration

The eye is numbed with local anaesthetic drops or injections, or general anaesthesia is administered depending on the complexity and patient preference.

2

Vitrectomy Procedure

Tiny instruments are inserted through small incisions to remove the vitreous gel, allowing access to the retina and removing any blood, scar tissue, or debris.

3

Retinal Repair

The surgeon repairs retinal tears, reattaches detached retina using laser photocoagulation or cryotherapy, removes membranes, or closes macular holes as needed.

4

Tamponade Application

Gas bubble, silicone oil, or air is injected into the eye to hold the retina in place during healing, maintaining proper positioning for successful reattachment.

5

Incision Closure

The tiny surgical incisions are self-sealing or closed with fine sutures, and antibiotic drops are applied to prevent infection.

Recovery

Recovery & aftercare.

What to expect at each stage of your recovery journey.

Immediate Recovery (Week 1-2)Early Healing (Week 3-6)Long-term Recovery (2-6 months)

Immediate Recovery (Week 1-2)

Strict head positioning may be required if gas bubble was used. Vision will be blurry, and eye may feel uncomfortable. Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and follow prescribed eye drop regimen diligently.

Early Healing (Week 3-6)

Gradual vision improvement begins as the retina heals and gas bubble dissipates. Continue protective measures, attend all follow-up appointments, and report any sudden vision changes immediately.

Long-term Recovery (2-6 months)

Vision continues to improve as retinal function stabilizes. Most patients return to normal activities with ophthalmologist clearance. Final visual acuity depends on pre-operative damage and surgical success.

Outcomes

Success & outcomes.

Retinal Reattachment Success

Over 90% of patients achieve successful anatomical retinal reattachment after primary surgery, preventing further vision loss and preserving remaining visual function.

Vision Restoration

Many patients experience significant vision improvement, though final visual acuity depends on duration and severity of detachment, with earlier treatment yielding better outcomes.

Prevention of Blindness

Timely retinal surgery prevents permanent vision loss and blindness from progressive retinal detachment, macular holes, or severe retinopathy complications.

Enhanced Quality of Life

Successful retinal surgery enables patients to resume daily activities, maintain independence, and experience improved confidence with restored or preserved vision.

Myths vs Facts

Common misconceptions.

Let's clear up some of the most common myths about retinal surgeries.

What happens if retinal surgeries is delayed?

  • Untreated retinal detachment leads to permanent, irreversible vision loss and blindness in the affected eye as photoreceptor cells die without proper connection to the underlying blood supply. Macular holes and severe epiretinal membranes cause progressive central vision deterioration, making reading, driving, and facial recognition impossible. Delaying surgical intervention significantly reduces the likelihood of successful vision restoration, often resulting in complete loss of useful vision even with later treatment.
