Ophthalmology Services:
- Cataract Surgery: Surgical removal of a cloudy lens (cataract) and replacement with an artificial intraocular lens to restore vision.
- LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis): Refractive surgery using a laser to reshape the cornea, correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
- Glaucoma Surgery: Various procedures, such as trabeculectomy or laser trabeculoplasty, to lower intraocular pressure and manage glaucoma.
- Vitrectomy: Removal of the vitreous gel from the eye to treat conditions like retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, or macular holes.
- Corneal Transplant (Corneal Grafting): Replacement of damaged or diseased corneal tissue with healthy donor tissue to improve vision.
- Strabismus Surgery: Corrective surgery for misalignment of the eyes (strabismus) to improve binocular vision.
- Ptosis Repair: Surgery to correct drooping of the upper eyelid (ptosis) that may be affecting vision or aesthetics.
- Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): Surgical procedures to reshape or modify the eyelids for functional or cosmetic reasons.
- Retinal Detachment Repair: Surgery to reattach a detached retina and prevent vision loss.
- Pterygium Excision: Removal of a non-cancerous growth on the eye’s surface (pterygium) that may affect vision or cause discomfort.
Cataract Surgery:
- Phacoemulsification: Modern cataract surgery technique using ultrasound to break up and remove the cloudy lens.
- Intraocular Lens (IOL) Implantation: Placement of an artificial lens into the eye after cataract removal to restore clear vision.
- Topical Anaesthesia Cataract Surgery: Cataract surgery performed using only eye drops for local anesthesia, eliminating the need for injections.
- Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery: Advanced cataract surgery using a laser for precise incisions and lens fragmentation.
- Astigmatism Correction: Cataract surgery with additional procedures or specialized lenses to correct astigmatism.
- YAG Laser Capsulotomy: Laser procedure to treat posterior capsule opacification (clouding of the lens capsule) that can occur after cataract surgery.
- Multifocal or Toric Lens Implantation: Use of specialized intraocular lenses to address presbyopia or correct astigmatism, reducing the need for glasses after cataract surgery.
- Combined Cataract and Glaucoma Surgery: Simultaneous procedures to address both cataracts and glaucoma, when needed.
Cataract surgery is one of the most common and successful ophthalmic surgeries, and advancements in technology continue to enhance surgical techniques and outcomes. Each patient’s situation is unique, and the choice of surgery depends on the specific eye condition and individual needs. Always consult with an ophthalmologist for personalized advice and treatment options.
