So, this week I had surgery to place medicine implants in my eyes and had a vitrectomy to drain out the polluted vitreous fluid in my eyeball and replace it with a clear solution.

The treatment we received for our detached retina was an operation called a vitrectomy, which entails the removal of the vitreous humor from the eyeball’s posterior chamber.

The risk of a procedure called vitrectomy, or retinal-detachment surgery -- or both surgeries -- was reduced 45 percent in the intensive management group, according to the study.

The morning of the vitrectomy we left extra early because of a limp in my dad’s right leg that had appeared a few months earlier and had gradually worsened.

A third technique, vitrectomy, is also done in a hospital.
