Enzymatic vitrectomy

Enzymatic vitrectomy is a minimally invasive eye procedure that uses specialized enzymes to break down the gel-like vitreous humor inside the eye. This technique helps remove or reduce dense or scarred vitreous, often associated with conditions like diabetic retinopathy or retinal detachments. By liquefying the vitreous, enzymes facilitate safer and more efficient removal, potentially decreasing surgical time and risks. The procedure is typically performed in controlled settings by an ophthalmologist to improve vision and retinal health, offering an innovative alternative to traditional mechanical removal methods.
