In some cases, such as retinal detachment and macular hole, surgery must be performed as soon as possible. In other situations, such as macular pucker (a membrane that curls up the retina) and vitreous hemorrhage (sudden hemorrhage within the eye), surgery can be scheduled with less urgency. Vitreoretinal surgery is a highly specialized microsurgical procedure performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. The symptoms of a vitreoretinal disease requiring surgery are various, ranging from sudden vision loss, to distorted vision, to the sudden appearance of floaters in the visual field. An ophthalmologist will evaluate each individual case and make the diagnosis. A medical or surgical treatment will follow. A timely eye examination is essential; a delay in diagnosis can irreversibly compromise vision.<\/div><\/header><div class=\"btClear btSeparator bottomSemiSpaced noBorder bt_bb_hidden_md bt_bb_hidden_lg\" ><hr><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"rowItem col-md-6 col-sm-12 btTextLeft animate animate-fadein inherit\"  ><div class=\"rowItemContent\" ><div class=\"btClear btSeparator bottomSpaced noBorder\" ><hr><\/div><div class=\"btIconImageRow\" ><div class=\"bpgPhoto btTextCenter\" ><div class=\"btImage\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ceopalermo.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_3985-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"btClear btSeparator bottomSmallSpaced noBorder bt_bb_hidden_md bt_bb_hidden_lg\" ><hr><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"boldRow  \" ><div class=\"boldRowInner\"><div class=\"rowItem col-md-12 col-ms-12  btTextLeft animate animate-fadein inherit\"  ><div class=\"rowItemContent\" ><div class=\"btClear btSeparator bottomExtraSmallSpaced noBorder\" ><hr><\/div><div class=\"btClear btSeparator topSmallSpaced border\" ><hr><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":2130,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3112","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ceopalermo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ceopalermo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ceopalermo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ceopalermo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ceopalermo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3112"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/www.ceopalermo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3112\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3381,"href":"https:\/\/www.ceopalermo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3112\/revisions\/3381"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ceopalermo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ceopalermo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
