The two most common types of corrective surgeries are LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) and PRK (photorefractive keratectomy). Laser eye surgery can correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, thereby eliminating an individual’s dependency on corrective lenses. Most popular, LASIK uses a precision laser to remove corneal tissue and reshape the cornea to change its level of focus. Cataract Surgery This is considered as a vision correction procedure. New lens implants for cataract surgery can partially restore a person’s near vision in addition to correcting farsightedness. Cataracts, commonly affecting both eyes, occur in over half of adults over 60. The surgery to remove cataracts is a safe and successful procedure, It is generally recommended for those individuals who have vision loss that is impacting their daily life, but may be avoided for those who have additional eye diseases. Cataract surgery is performed with minimal sedatives and usually takes less than 30 minutes. Glaucoma Surgery This surgery involves laser treatment or making a cut in the eye to reduce the intraocular pressure. The type of surgery recommended will depend on the type and severity of your glaucoma and the general health of your eye. Glaucoma surgery can reduce the intraocular pressure when medication is not a sufficient solution. If necessary, glaucoma surgery can be performed multiple times with low risk. There are two types of common glaucoma surgery: laser and conventional. ✔ Laser Surgery – During laser surgery, a laser is used to make a small opening in the eye’s drainage system to help increase fluid drainage out of the eye. When laser surgery fails to solve the condition or the condition re-emerges, the ophthalmologist may opt for conventional surgery. ✔ Conventional Surgery – During conventional surgery, a new drainage canal is created that allows intraocular fluid to flow out of the eye. Canaloplasty This is one of several new surgical alternatives to lower pressure for patients with glaucoma. It takes advantage of the eye’s drainage system to safely treat the elevated pressure. Canaloplasty is an advanced surgical alternatives to lower pressure for patients with glaucoma. It takes advantage of eye’s natural drainage for safe treatment of elevated pressure To perform a canaloplasty, an ophthalmologist creates a tiny incision to gain access to a canal in the eye.
