A member asked:
After cataract removal and laser surgery, i need vitreotomy surgery--is it safe to do all these things?

Yes, if indicated: It is safe to do all these operations on the same eye if there is a medical reason to do so. Your doctor, perhaps with the input from a retinal consultant, will explain the reasons the procedures are required, what is hoped to be accomplished, and the associated risks.

Yes/no: Depends on the situation. No surgery is completely safe. If needed to repair and rehab the eye, you may not have much choice. Sounds like you may have erm (epi-retinal membrane). Take advice from your surgeon.
