Dr. Shaminder Bhullar specializes in ophthalmology (eye disease) and practices in Brooksville, FL.

"Had a retinal tear. Dr froze the tear. After the procedure I was told to take Tylenol for the pain. The pain was much worse than a Tylenol could handle. Called the doctor and he blew me off. Was put on hold while his staff asked him about my case, guess he was too busy. Said they would call me back, never did. Time to find a new doc with some compassion for their patients discomfort. I realize that everyone is a drug addict now but the doc knows what kind of pain is involved with the procedures. So if you see this guy make sure you have your own meds for pain cuz he is not going to give you any."

What are Vitreoretinal Diseases?

Vitreoretinal disease, or vitreoretinal surgery, is a subspecialty of ophthalmology that focuses on the surgical care of the back of the eye, or the retina. The retina is the layer of nerve tissue at the rear of the eye that senses light and is responsible for vision. Connected to the retina is a thick, clear gel called vitreous. In order to perform surgery on the retina, the vitreous must sometimes be removed. Doctors who can operate on these incredibly delicate parts of the eye are called vitreoretinal surgeons.

Some of the eye conditions that a vitreoretinal surgeon might treat include:

Diabetic retinopathy
Macular degeneration
Retinal detachment or tears
Macular holes
Retinal vein occlusion
Retinoblastomas

During vitreoretinal surgery, small incisions are made in the white of the eye, and very tiny instruments are inserted. The surgeon uses a microscope to treat the areas needed deep within the eye. In some procedures, a gas bubble is injected into the eye to apply pressure to the retina and keep it in place while it heals. If this is the case, you may be asked to lie face down for a few days after surgery. Eye drops containing antibiotics and other medications are also commonly prescribed.

Vitreoretinal diseases can be a serious threat to your vision. In many cases, vitreoretinal surgery can ensure you are able to see well into the future.
