A vitrector is a handheld surgical instrument used inside the eye. It cuts and removes the vitreous gel (the clear, jelly-like material that fills the back of the eye). It is most commonly used during vitrectomy surgery by retina specialists. It may also be used in certain anterior segment procedures, depending on the case.
