Surgeries

Amblyopia Surgery refers to surgical interventions aimed at treating amblyopia, commonly known as "lazy eye." This type of surgery typically involves procedures to correct misalignment of the eyes (strabismus) or remove obstructions such as cataracts or ptosis (droopy eyelid) that may contribute to amblyopia. The goal of amblyopia surgery is to improve visual acuity and restore binocular vision in affected individuals, particularly children.

Glaucoma surgery refers to various surgical procedures aimed at managing intraocular pressure (IOP) and preventing optic nerve damage caused by glaucoma, a group of eye conditions characterized by progressive damage to the optic nerve. These surgical interventions may include trabeculectomy, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), laser trabeculoplasty, or implantation of drainage devices.

Keratoplasty surgeries encompass a range of procedures aimed at replacing or reshaping damaged or diseased corneal tissue. Common types include penetrating keratoplasty (PK), where the entire cornea is replaced, and lamellar keratoplasty (LK), which involves replacing only the affected layers of the cornea. These surgeries are used to treat conditions such as corneal scarring, keratoconus, and corneal dystrophies.

Phaco surgery, short for phacoemulsification surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure in the eye category used to remove cataracts and restore vision. During the surgery, a tiny incision is made in the eye, and an ultrasonic device is inserted to break up the cloudy lens (cataract) into small pieces.

Scleral buckling surgery is a procedure used in ophthalmology to repair retinal detachments. During the surgery, a flexible band or sponge made of silicone or other materials is placed around the eye's circumference, exerting gentle pressure on the sclera (the white outer layer of the eye). This pressure indents the sclera and supports the detached retina, helping to reattach it to the underlying tissue.

Squint surgery, also known as strabismus surgery, is a procedure performed in the eye category to correct misalignment of the eyes, known as strabismus or squint. During the surgery, the ophthalmic surgeon adjusts the extraocular muscles responsible for eye movement to realign the eyes properly. This procedure aims to improve binocular vision, depth perception, and the cosmetic appearance of the eyes.

Vitrectomy surgery is a procedure used to treat various retinal conditions by removing the vitreous gel from the center of the eye. During the surgery, the ophthalmic surgeon makes tiny incisions in the eye and uses small instruments to remove the vitreous gel, along with any abnormal tissue or debris. Vitrectomy surgery is commonly performed to treat conditions such as retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, macular holes, and vitreous hemorrhage.
