Procedures that are performed in the hospital include photodynamic therapy laser (PDT), vitrectomy, and scleral buckle. Common indications for vitrectomies are retinal detachment, epiretinal membrane, macular hole, vitreous opacities, and dislocated intraocular lens. All surgeries are performed on an outpatient basis, at Queens Medical Center or Surgicare. If hospital surgery is expected, please note that this may hinder any flight travel. Further details can be discussed with your doctor on your appointment day prior to surgery.
The videos below gives you a brief outline of what can be expected when vitrectomy surgery is performed.
Surgery
After having certain surgeries, we may require you avoid heavy lifting and/or altering you head in different positions. The post operative instructions depend on the type of procedure performed. If you need to have a procedure done that requires you to be in a “face-down” position, you may be interested in renting equipment to make your healing process more comfortable.
