"I've been seeing Dr. Schartman for two yeasr. I had cataract surgery in 2017 (by a different doctor). After that surgery, the retina in my left eye became inflamed and my vision became blurred and distorted (I have auto immune issues). Dr. Schartman has been giving me the needed steroid shots in my eye since 2018. He is a great doctor who really knows the eye. The shots are administrated with no pain, and the office staff is also very comforting and friendly."

Dr. Tsai was able to do treatment thanks to a coworker referring us, that brought back a little, and has been able to maintain what he had. We were just back in the office for the other eye. He was able to put us at ease. So appreciative"

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.
