00:00Did you know doctors can suck the jelly-like fluid out of your eye to correct cloudiness and retinal issues?
00:06It's called a vitrectomy.
00:08During this surgery, some small openings are made in the white part of your eye,
00:13and the fluid in the back of the eye is removed.
00:16With this fluid out of the way, the surgeon can fix any problems with the retina.
00:21For a detached retina, the surgeon may inject saline or a bubble of oil or gas to stabilize it against the back of the eye.
00:28And don't worry, your eye will refill with fluid naturally.
