Summary

The provider repairs a detached retina using heat produced by a laser beam or by freezing the tissues. He may attach a scleral buckle to simplify the passage of fluid through and behind the retina or inject a gas bubble to seal the retinal break. He removes some of the vitreous, if necessary. He also drains the subretinal fluid and may use air to level up the detached retina.
