Vitreoretinal Surgery
At Sunway Medical Centre Velocity (SMCV), our Vitreoretinal Surgery services focus on the diagnosis and surgical management of complex conditions affecting the retina, vitreous, and macula, the delicate structures at the back of the eye responsible for vision. Disorders in this area can significantly impact visual clarity, central vision, and overall sight if not treated promptly.
Our ophthalmology specialists provide comprehensive care using advanced diagnostic imaging and microsurgical techniques to preserve vision, prevent further deterioration, and restore visual function wherever possible. As part of one of the best private hospitals in Kuala Lumpur, SMCV is committed to delivering precise, patient-centred eye care guided by evidence-based clinical standards.
Understanding Vitreoretinal Conditions
The retina is a thin layer of light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye, while the vitreous is the clear gel that fills the space between the lens and the retina. Conditions affecting these structures may result from ageing, diabetes, eye trauma, infection, inflammation, or underlying systemic disease.
Early diagnosis and timely intervention are critical. Delayed treatment may lead to irreversible vision loss, retinal detachment, or permanent damage to the macula, which is responsible for detailed central vision.
Our Vitreoretinal Surgery team manages a wide range of retinal and vitreous conditions, including:
- Retinal detachment
- Diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular oedema
- Macular hole
- Epiretinal membrane (macular pucker)
- Vitreous haemorrhage
- Retinal tears and holes
- Age-related vitreous degeneration with visual disturbance
- Infections or inflammation affecting the retina
- Complications following eye trauma or previous eye surgery
Early assessment allows appropriate treatment planning and improves the likelihood of visual preservation.
At SMCV, we offer a full spectrum of vitreoretinal care, from detailed evaluation to advanced surgical management. Our services include:
- Comprehensive retinal examination and imaging
- Medical management of retinal diseases
- Laser retinal treatments
- Vitreoretinal microsurgery
- Post-operative monitoring and long-term retinal care
Each treatment plan is individualised based on the patient’s condition, visual needs, and overall eye health.
