What Is Retinal Care?
Retinal care involves the diagnosis, management, and treatment of conditions affecting the retina—the thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye responsible for capturing light and sending visual signals to the brain. Common retinal conditions include:
- Retinal Detachment
- Macular Holes
- Diabetic Retinopathy
- Vitreous Haemorrhage
- Epiretinal Membrane
At OCL Vision, we offer advanced diagnostic tools and personalised treatment plans to ensure the best outcomes for our patients in London.
Understanding Vitrectomy
What Is Vitrectomy Surgery?
Vitrectomy is a specialised surgical procedure designed to treat a variety of retinal disorders. It involves the removal of the vitreous gel from the eye to allow better access to the retina, enabling the surgeon to:
- Remove scar tissue, blood, or debris that may be affecting vision
- Repair retinal detachments or tears
- Treat macular holes and other retinal conditions
- Vitrectomy is often recommended when other treatments, such as laser therapy or injections, are not sufficient to restore or maintain vision.
Costs of Vitrectomy Surgery in London
The cost of vitrectomy surgery can vary depending on several factors, including:
- The complexity of the procedure
- The specific condition being treated
- Whether the surgery is performed privately or through the NHS
At OCL Vision, we believe in transparent pricing. Our team will provide a detailed cost breakdown during your consultation, ensuring you have all the information needed to make an informed decision about your retinal care.
Recovery from vitrectomy surgery varies from patient to patient, depending on the type of condition being treated and the complexity of the surgery. Here’s what you can generally expect:
- Immediate Post-Surgery: Mild discomfort, redness, and blurred vision are common. Your surgeon may prescribe eye drops to prevent infection and reduce inflammation.
- Positioning: In some cases, patients may need to maintain a specific head position to help the retina heal properly, especially if a gas bubble was used during surgery.
- Follow-Up Appointments: Regular check-ups are essential to monitor healing and ensure there are no complications.
- Vision Improvement: Vision may take several weeks or even months to stabilise fully, depending on the underlying condition.
Our team at OCL Vision provides comprehensive post-operative support to help you recover comfortably and achieve the best possible outcome.
