Vitrectomy is a surgical procedure in which the vitreous humor gel that fills the eye cavity is removed by the surgeon. It is done to access the retina easier. Vitrectomy aims to make a patient’s retina healthier. The vitrectomy procedure allows surgeons to remove scar tissue and laser repair retinal detachments.

A lazy eye or amblyopia is the weakening of the vision in one eye. The reason for that is abnormal vision development in childhood. It usually occurs from birth to seven years old.

Cataract surgery is a replacement of the natural lens in your eyes with an artificial one. An average cataract surgery takes 30 to 45 minutes.

Glaucoma is several eye conditions that damage the optic nerve. The optic nerve is known as the place sending visual information to the brain. The reason for the damage to the optic nerve is high pressure in the eye. But with even normal eye pressure glaucoma may occur.
Treatment can slow or prevent vision loss. Eyedrops including prostaglandins, beta blockers, alpha-adrenergic agonists, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, and oral medications are among the glaucoma treatments. There are also surgeries like laser surgery and filtering surgery to treat glaucoma.
You should see your eye doctor regularly for possible additional treatments.
