Confluence Health Ophthalmology department is now offering specialized ophthalmic care for patients who suffer from conditions involving the posterior segment of the eye. This is the back segment of the eye protected by the gel-like substance in the eye. In order to treat these problems, the vitreous humor gel that fills the eye cavity must be temporarily removed. These surgical techniques must be performed by a physician with specific training. Our Vitreoretinal Specialist provide both medical and surgical treatments to patients with these conditions.
