Summary

In this procedure, the provider removes vitreous humor, the gelatinous material that gives shape to the eye, using a mechanical cutting tool. He then removes the subretinal membrane to treat excessive growth of new vessels that obstruct the vision, common in age related macular degeneration. He may also use air, gas or silicone oil to stabilize the retina and employ a laser beam to heal the damaged retinal tissues, if present.
