Retina surgery is a specialized type of eye surgery aimed at treating conditions affecting the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. Common issues that may require retina surgery include retinal detachment, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal tears or holes. The goal of retina surgery is to restore or preserve vision by repairing or stabilizing the retina. Procedures may involve techniques like laser therapy, cryotherapy (freezing treatment), or vitrectomy (removal of the vitreous gel in the eye to access and repair the retina). The specific approach depends on the condition being treated and the extent of damage.
