Phacoemulsification

Phacoemulsification is a modern cataract surgery technique. It involves using ultrasound to break down and emulsify the cloudy lens, which is then aspirated from the eye. This minimally invasive procedure allows for smaller incisions, faster recovery, and reduced risk of complications compared to traditional methods. Phacoemulsification has become the standard of care for cataract removal, offering improved outcomes and enhanced patient satisfaction.

LASIK

LASIK, or Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, is a popular refractive surgery to correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. During the procedure, a laser reshapes the cornea to improve light focus on the retina, eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses. LASIK is known for its quick recovery, minimal discomfort, and high success rates, making it a widely adopted option for individuals seeking a long-term solution to refractive errors.

Squint surgery

Squint surgery, or strabismus surgery, aims to correct misalignment of the eyes. During the procedure, the eye muscles are adjusted to improve coordination and alignment, enhancing binocular vision. This surgery is often performed on both children and adults, addressing issues like crossed eyes. While it may not always completely restore perfect alignment, squint surgery significantly improves eye alignment and can have a positive impact on visual function and appearance. Postoperative care and follow-up are crucial for optimal results.

Retinal detachment

Retinal detachment is a serious eye condition where the thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye pulls away from its normal position. This separation can lead to vision loss if not promptly treated. Symptoms include sudden flashes of light, floaters, and a curtain-like shadow across the field of vision. Surgical interventions, such as laser therapy or surgery to reattach the retina, are common

Diabetic retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy, a complication of diabetes, damages blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision impairment. As blood vessels leak or close off, the retina is deprived of oxygen, triggering abnormal blood vessel growth. This can result in severe vision loss or even blindness. Regular eye exams for those with diabetes are crucial for early detection and timely intervention, which may include laser therapy or surgery to prevent or mitigate vision complications.

Posterior capsular opacification (PCO)

Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is a common complication after cataract surgery where the back portion of the lens capsule becomes cloudy, causing blurred vision. This occurs as residual lens cells multiply and adhere to the capsule. YAG laser capsulotomy is a routine and effective procedure to clear the opacification, restoring clear vision by creating an opening in the cloudy capsule. While generally a minor issue, PCO can be addressed promptly to ensure optimal visual outcomes after cataract surgery.

Corneal cross-linking (CXL)

Corneal cross-linking (CXL) is a medical procedure used to strengthen the cornea and halt the progression of keratoconus, a condition where the cornea thins and distorts. During CXL, riboflavin (vitamin B2) eye drops are applied to the cornea, which is then exposed to ultraviolet light. This process creates chemical bonds that strengthen the corneal collagen fibers. Corneal cross-linking has shown success in stabilizing keratoconus and preventing further vision deterioration, offering a non-invasive option for managing this corneal disorder.

Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR)

Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a surgical procedure to treat nasolacrimal duct obstruction, often causing persistent tearing due to blocked tear drainage. During DCR, a new passage is created between the tear sac and the nasal cavity, allowing tears to bypass the obstruction. This promotes proper drainage and alleviates symptoms. DCR can be performed through external or endoscopic techniques. It is a well-established and effective procedure to address tear duct issues, improving patient comfort and reducing tearing-related concerns.

Computerized Eye Checking

Computerized eye checking, often referred to as auto-refraction, is a modern method for assessing a person’s refractive error and prescription for glasses or contact lenses. This automated process uses computerized instruments to measure the eye’s ability to focus light accurately. By providing quick and precise measurements, auto-refraction enhances the efficiency of eye examinations. While it serves as a valuable initial assessment, a comprehensive eye exam with an optometrist or ophthalmologist is crucial for a thorough evaluation of eye health and visual needs
