You’ll be blind if you have a vitrectomy, right?

Vitrectomy is a routine surgery in ophthalmology, and this procedure does not lead to blindness. This surgery is mainly used for the treatment of fundus diseases, such as vitreous hemorrhage, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, retinal detachment, macular anterior membrane, macular fissure, etc. There are clear indications for the surgery, and it is only considered when the indications for surgery are available. This is a very delicate surgery in ophthalmology and a relatively high level surgery, so it is important to go to a regular hospital for examination and give treatment. After the surgery, the fundus needs to be checked regularly to adjust the follow-up treatment plan according to the changes in the condition. Throughout the treatment period, it is important to pay attention to maintaining reasonable eye habits, avoiding excessive eye use and strenuous exercise to prevent post-operative complications, such as recurrence of the disease or infection.
