Hi, folks. My son has certain eye problems. I am not sure what it is, but his ophthalmologist suggests vitrectomy surgery. I am not sure what it is exactly, but I would like to know whether a teenager should go through this procedure. I would appreciate all your replies. Bye, guys!

Hello, there. Vitrectomy is a procedure where incision is made in front of retina, but behind iris. With this procedure, vitreous humor will be removed from the eye. It is done in general anesthesia. However, if there are contraindications for general anesthesia, it can be done locally. The recovery process depends on preoperative condition. I think this procedure is safe, but I am not sure for teenagers. You can ask a second opinion if you're not sure. I hope everything will be all right. Bye!
