Vitrectomy (Removal of Eye Gel)

Colorado rates for HCPCS 67036

A surgeon removes the vitreous, the clear gel that fills the middle of the eye, using small mechanical instruments inserted through tiny incisions. This is done to treat conditions such as retinal detachment, severe bleeding inside the eye, or scar tissue pulling on the retina. The removed gel is typically replaced with a saline solution or another substance during the same procedure.
