Laser Eye Surgery
This procedure does not involve any incisions but uses a laser beam to clear or reshape the cornea. It is used to correct or improve vision, nearsightedness, arsightedness, and stigmatism. Laser eye surgery can be of two types; Lasik (Laser Assisted In-situ Keratomileusis) and LASEK (Laser-Assisted Subepithelial Keratectomy). Patients may not need contact lenses or glasses after this surgical procedure.
Vitreous Retinal Surgery
It is a special surgical procedure performed in the deep area of the eye. This part is where the retina and vitreous (a gel that fills the eye cavity) are located. It is done to repair retinal detachments, macular holes, and scarred tissues. This surgery helps to restore, improve, and preserve vision affected by conditions like detached retinas, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, etc.
Corneal Surgery
Corneal surgery, also known as corneal grafting and cornea transplant is a procedure that replaces a damaged cornea with donated corneal tissue or graft. It is usually advised for people suffering from vision problems caused by certain medical conditions. It can also be used to relieve pain and at times of emergencies such as severe damage or infections.
Eye Muscle Surgery
Eye muscle surgery is also known as reconstructive surgery, eye plastic surgery, or oculofacial. It is used for correcting Strabismus (eye misalignments) and Nystagmus (eye wigglings). This surgery is often performed in children; however, can be helpful for adults with eye muscle problems also. It is extremely necessary to take proper care of your eyes after the procedure for proper recovery.
