Overview

Retinal disease surgery is a specialized procedure for treating conditions affecting the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye. These surgeries are used to address serious issues such as retinal detachment, tears, and complications from diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration. Using microsurgical techniques, the goal of retinal disease surgery is to preserve or improve your vision and halt the progression of the disease.
