Floaters surgery

The medical term for this type of surgery is known as a Vitrectomy. It can and has been successful for treating more severe cases. However, the potential risk of this procedure can lead to more complications like cataracts retinal tears or a really severe infection and therefore is not really warranted if the symptoms do not cause the sufferer too much inconvenience.
This operation usually involves making three openings in the eye. Then to insert small gauge instruments, one to resupply a saline solution and maintain the pressure of the eye, the second is a fiber optic light source, and the third is a vitrector. The vitrector has a cutting tip attached to a suction device. This design reduces traction on the retina via the vitreous material.
