Diagnostics before decisions
An examination should give the doctor the information needed to make a diagnosis and choose further treatment. So the number of tests in itself is not a measure of the quality of diagnostics.
Vitrectomy for vitreoretinal diseases
Conditions treated with vitrectomy
Vitrectomy is the removal of the vitreous body through ultra-fine punctures to gain access to the retina. It is used for retinal detachment and other vitreoretinal conditions.
-
Retinal detachment:
the only effective way to return the retina to its place; surgery is often performed urgently.
-
Proliferative retinopathy:
removal of membranes that pull on the retina.
-
Haemophthalmos:
blood in the vitreous body that does not clear on its own.
-
Vitreous degeneration:
in rare cases, when dense “floaters” severely interfere with vision.
-
Macular hole:
a defect in the centre of the retina.
-
Epiretinal fibrosis:
a film on the surface of the retina that makes lines look distorted; it is carefully removed with forceps.
-
Injuries and foreign bodies:
penetrating injuries and foreign bodies inside the eye.
-
Endophthalmitis and uveitis:
endophthalmitis (as an emergency) and severe chronic uveitis with persistent opacity.
-
Complications after cataract surgery:
displacement of the IOL or lens fragments into the vitreous body.

How vitrectomy is performed
Access
The surgeon enters the inner cavity of the eye through ultra-fine punctures.
Removal of the vitreous body
The altered or clouded vitreous body is removed completely or partially with a vitrector.
Flattening the retina
The retina is pressed back into place, and tears are sealed with laser coagulation.
Tamponade
The eye cavity is filled with gas (which resolves on its own) or silicone oil (which requires a second operation to remove).

PatientLower eyelid blepharoplasty
Today I saw my cosmetologist and realised I don't regret any of the things I've had done. I don't think I'm losing my identity, and I'm definitely not obsessively chasing perfection. My best decision was the blepharoplasty (removing the fat bags under my eyes).

Recovery and result
After surgery
- The patient goes home after the operation and an examination.
- A special face-down head position must be maintained during the rehabilitation period.
- The gas resolves within 10–20 days; silicone oil is removed in a second operation after a few months.
Result
- The goal is to relieve vitreous traction, close the tear and secure the retina in order to preserve vision.
- In haemophthalmos, vitrectomy restores the clarity of the eye.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I start if I don’t know which service I need?
Start with a consultation. The ophthalmologist will assess your complaints and the condition of your eyes and decide whether further diagnostics are needed. If your question concerns aesthetic medicine, the administrator will help you book the right specialist.
Do I need full diagnostics before every consultation?
No. The scope of the examination is determined by the doctor based on your complaints and the results of previous visits.
Can I have a consultation and diagnostics in one place?
Yes. Consultation, diagnostics and treatment take place within one centre, often in a single visit.
Is laser vision correction suitable for everyone?
No. Suitability is determined by diagnostics: corneal thickness, vision stability and concomitant conditions.
Can I come for a preventive eye check-up if nothing bothers me?
Yes, and it is worth doing regularly — some eye diseases have no symptoms in the early stages.
How do I book an appointment?
Fill in the form on the website or call the administrator — they will choose a doctor and a convenient time for you.
