Summary

In this procedure, the provider drains fluid from the anterior chamber of the eye and also removes vitreous. The provider may also perform dissection of the anterior hyaloid membrane, with or without air injection. Providers typically perform this procedure if the central retinal artery is blocked, which can permanently damage vision or cause blindness.
