Eye Surgery

Cataract Surgery: Cataracts are the clouding of the natural lens of the eye, leading to blurred vision. Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to restore clear vision.

Glaucoma Surgery: Glaucoma is a condition where increased pressure within the eye damages the optic nerve. Surgical procedures like trabeculectomy, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), and drainage implants can help lower intraocular pressure and prevent further damage.

Retinal Detachment Surgery: Retinal detachment occurs when the retina pulls away from the back of the eye. Surgery involves reattaching the retina to its proper position to prevent vision loss.

Corneal Transplant: Also known as a corneal graft, this surgery involves replacing a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy cornea from a donor.

Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE): Similar to cataract surgery, RLE involves removing the natural lens of the eye and replacing it with an artificial lens to correct refractive errors.

Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK): Like LASIK, PRK is a refractive surgery that uses a laser to reshape the cornea, but in PRK, the outer layer of the cornea is removed before the reshaping.

Pterygium Surgery: A pterygium is a growth of tissue on the conjunctiva that can extend onto the cornea, causing discomfort and vision problems. Surgery involves removing the growth and repairing the affected area.

Strabismus Surgery: Strabismus, or crossed eyes, occurs when the eyes are not properly aligned. Surgery aims to adjust the muscles that control eye movement to align the eyes correctly.

Vitrectomy: This surgery involves removing the gel-like vitreous humor from the eye and replacing it with a clear solution. It’s commonly used to treat conditions like retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, and macular holes.

Lid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): This surgery is performed to correct eyelid conditions, such as drooping eyelids or bags under the eyes, which can affect vision and appearance.

Canaloplasty: This is a procedure used to treat glaucoma by improving the eye’s natural drainage system to lower intraocular pressure.

Iris Repair Surgery: In cases of iris damage or defects, surgery can be performed to repair the iris and improve visual function and aesthetics.

Intacs: These are tiny devices implanted in the cornea to treat mild cases of keratoconus, a condition that causes the cornea to become cone-shaped.
