Vitrectomy is a microsurgical procedure that removes the vitreous gel from inside the eye to allow the surgeon to access and repair the retina — the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. It is performed for a range of serious retinal conditions including retinal detachment, diabetic vitreous haemorrhage, macular holes, epiretinal membranes, and severe eye trauma. The operation is carried out through three tiny openings in the white of the eye using instruments thinner than a strand of spaghetti, guided by a high-magnification surgical microscope. Modern small-gauge vitrectomy (23G, 25G, or 27G) is typically a day-care procedure performed under local anaesthesia with sedation, and patients go home the same day. After the vitreous is removed and the retina is treated, the eye is filled with saline, a gas bubble, or silicone oil depending on the condition, and vision gradually stabilises over weeks to months.
Estimated cost: ~$200 – $400
Typical tests for this treatment: Dilated fundus examination (retinal assessment), Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Ultrasound B-scan (if retinal view is obscured), Blood pressure measurement, Random blood sugar (fasting if diabetic), CBC, PT/INR (if on blood thinners). Done in India before hospital admission. Cost varies with case complexity.
