Eye operations are essential procedures aimed at treating a variety of eye conditions, improving vision, and maintaining eye health. Some of the most common types include:
Cataract Surgery: This is one of the most frequently performed eye surgeries. It involves removing the cloudy lens of the eye and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to restore clear vision.
LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis): LASIK is a popular refractive surgery used to correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It reshapes the cornea using a laser to improve how light enters the eye.
Glaucoma Surgery: Glaucoma surgery aims to reduce intraocular pressure, which is often elevated in glaucoma. Procedures like trabeculectomy or the use of drainage implants can help prevent damage to the optic nerve.
Retinal Surgery: For conditions such as retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, or macular holes, retinal surgery may be necessary. Techniques like laser therapy or vitrectomy can help repair the retina and restore vision.
Corneal Transplant: This surgery is performed when the cornea is damaged due to disease, injury, or infection. It involves replacing the damaged cornea with a donor cornea to restore vision.
Pterygium Surgery: Pterygium, a growth of tissue on the eye's surface, is treated surgically if it interferes with vision or causes irritation.
Each of these surgeries is tailored to the patient's specific needs, with the goal of improving vision and preventing further complications.
