Key Points

Improvements in sustainability may decrease carbon emissions linked to surgical practices, enhancing environmental impact.
A 30% reduction in carbon emissions can lead to significant benefits for healthcare carbon footprints over five years.
Observational analysis highlights multiple strategies for reducing the environmental impact of vitreoretinal surgery.
Benefits of these strategies suggest broader applications in surgical practices, encouraging further exploration in diverse settings.
