Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is a procedure to remove the lens of the eye and, in most cases, replace it with an artificial lens. A cataract causes the lens to become cloudy when it is typically clear. Cataracts can eventually affect vision.
Cataract surgery is performed by an eye doctor, also called an ophthalmologist. It’s performed on an outpatient basis, which means you don’t have to stay in the hospital after the surgery. Cataract surgery is very common and is generally a safe procedure.
Surgery for Retinal Detachment
Retinal detachment happens when your retina (a light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of your eye) is pulled away from its normal position. Retinal detachment is a medical emergency, and early treatment is important to protect your vision.
Glaucoma Surgery
There are several different treatments for glaucoma, including eyedrops, laser treatment and surgery. The best treatment for you will depend on your circumstances.
Treatment can’t reverse any loss of vision that has already occurred, but it can help stop your vision getting any worse.
Refractive Surgery
Refractive surgery can correct refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia. Some of these surgeries reshape the cornea. Others implant a lens in your eye. Either way, the goal is the same. These surgeries focus light correctly on the retina so you can see more clearly.
Oculoplastic Surgery
Oculoplastic surgery, a specialized area of ophthalmology focused on the health of the eyelids, orbit, tear ducts and other structures around the eye, is often called oculofacial or ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery.
