General Description: A vitrectomy is a surgical procedure in which the vitreous gel (vitreous humor) inside the eye is removed. The vitreous is a gel-like substance that fills the space between the lens and the retina. A vitrectomy is performed to treat a variety of eye problems, including retinal detachments, macular holes, diabetic retinopathy, vitreous…
General Description: Dry eye, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a common eye condition caused by inadequate production or poor quality of tears. This leads to insufficient lubrication and moisture on the eye’s surface, resulting in discomfort, eye irritation, redness, and blurred vision. The treatment of dry eye aims to relieve symptoms, improve tear production,…
General Description: Strabismus surgery, also known as strabismus correction, is a surgical procedure to treat strabismus (crossed eyes). Strabismus is a misalignment of the eyes where the eyes do not properly align and point in different directions. This can lead to issues such as double vision, amblyopia (lazy eye), and poor depth perception. The surgery…
General Description: Refractive lens exchange (RLE), also known as lens replacement surgery, is a surgical procedure in which the eye’s natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This surgery is commonly performed to correct refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia (age-related difficulty in seeing close…
General Description: Presbyopia is an age-related vision impairment that typically affects people over the age of 40. It is caused by the loss of flexibility in the eye’s lens, making it difficult to focus on close objects. Affected individuals often struggle to read small print or perform close-up tasks. Presbyopia correction aims to improve near…
General Description: Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that produces high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina and other eye structures. It uses coherent light to create detailed images that reveal the different layers of the retina. OCT is widely used in ophthalmology to diagnose and monitor various eye diseases, including age-related macular…
General Description: Retinal surgeries are surgical procedures performed to treat diseases and damage to the retina, the light-sensitive tissue layer at the back of the eye. The retina plays a crucial role in vision as it converts incoming light into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain. Retinal diseases can significantly impair vision and…
General Description: Macular degeneration, also known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is an eye disease that affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision. AMD is one of the most common causes of vision loss in older adults. There are two main types of AMD: dry and wet. Dry AMD…
General Description: Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease in which the normally round, dome-shaped cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) thins and begins to bulge into a cone-like shape. This change leads to blurred vision, distortion, and increased sensitivity to light because the light is no longer correctly focused on the retina. Keratoconus…
General Description: Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is a surgical procedure in which the eye’s natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens. This artificial lens is known as an intraocular lens (IOL) and is typically used to treat cataracts. Additionally, IOL implantation can be used to correct refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness),…
General Description: Corneal transplantation, also known as keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or diseased cornea is replaced with healthy donor tissue. The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped outer layer of the eye that allows light to enter and enables vision. A transplant becomes necessary when the cornea loses its transparency or…
General Description: Cataract surgery, also known as gray star surgery, is a surgical procedure in which the eye’s cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens, known as an intraocular lens (IOL). Cataracts occur when the eye’s lens becomes cloudy due to aging, injury, or other conditions, leading to blurred vision,…
General Description: Glaucoma, also known as green star, is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve and can lead to permanent blindness if untreated. This damage is often caused by increased intraocular pressure (IOP) due to the accumulation of eye fluid in the front part of the eye. Glaucoma is one of…
General Description: Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to remove excess skin, fat, and muscle tissue from the upper and/or lower eyelids. This surgery is commonly performed to enhance the appearance of the eyes by tightening and rejuvenating the eye area. Additionally, blepharoplasty can provide functional benefits, such…
General Description: Laser eye treatments such as LASIK, PRK, and LASEK are refractive surgical procedures designed to correct vision problems like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. These procedures reshape the cornea (the clear outer layer of the eye) to properly focus light onto the retina, thereby improving visual acuity. These treatments can reduce or…
Astigmatism is a common vision problem caused by an irregular curvature of the cornea or lens of the eye. Treatment options include glasses or contact lenses that focus light correctly on the retina, and refractive surgery such as LASIK, PRK or LASEK that reshape the cornea.
