It is most often performed as a pars plana vitrectomy, meaning the surgeon enters through the white part of the eye near the colored iris without going through the cornea. The goal is typically to remove some or all of the vitreous gel and treat problems affecting the retina and macula. It is commonly used in modern retinal surgery because the smaller instrument size can allow smaller incisions."}
