Ophthalmology & Vision Care
Ophthalmology and vision care focus on the diagnosis, treatment, and surgical management of eye diseases and vision disorders. Advanced medical and surgical procedures help preserve and restore eyesight, ensuring optimal eye health and improved quality of life.
Specialized Eye Treatments and Surgeries
LASIK Eye Surgery
A laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Retinal Detachment Repair
A surgical procedure to reattach the retina in cases of detachment, preventing vision loss and restoring normal retinal function through laser surgery, pneumatic retinopexy, or scleral buckling.
Corneal Transplant
A procedure where a damaged or diseased cornea is replaced with a healthy donor cornea, helping restore vision in patients with corneal scarring, keratoconus, or corneal dystrophies.
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)
A vision correction surgery where the eye's natural lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to treat severe farsightedness, presbyopia, or cataracts.
Vitrectomy
A surgical procedure to remove the vitreous gel from the eye, commonly used to treat retinal detachments, diabetic retinopathy, macular holes, and vitreous hemorrhages.
Eye Muscle Surgery
A procedure to correct misalignment of the eyes (strabismus) by adjusting the eye muscles, improving eye coordination and preventing double vision.
Strabismus Surgery
A specialized corrective surgery for crossed or misaligned eyes, improving both cosmetic appearance and binocular vision in children and adults.
Cataract Surgery
A procedure to remove a clouded natural lens (cataract) and replace it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to restore vision.
Glaucoma Surgery
A surgical treatment to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) and prevent optic nerve damage in patients with glaucoma, using techniques such as trabeculectomy, laser therapy, and drainage implants.
Tear Duct Surgery (Dacryocystorhinostomy - DCR)
A procedure to treat blocked tear ducts, restoring normal tear drainage and preventing excessive tearing and infections.
Macular Hole Repair
A delicate surgical procedure to close a macular hole in the retina, improving central vision by removing vitreous traction and promoting natural healing.
Dry Eye Treatment
A range of therapies to relieve chronic dry eye syndrome, including medicated eye drops, punctal plugs, and intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, ensuring better eye hydration and comfort.
Treatments
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is a medical procedure performed to remove a cloudy natural lens and replace it with a clear artificial lens to restore sharp vision. Cataracts occur when the eye's lens becomes opaque, leading to blurred vision and difficulty seeing clearly. This surgery is one of the most common and safest procedures worldwide, helping patients regain normal vision and significantly improve their quality of life.
Read moreCorneal Transplant
Corneal transplant is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with healthy corneal tissue from a deceased donor. Also known as keratoplasty, this procedure aims to restore vision, relieve pain, and treat severe infection or damage to the cornea, thereby improving the patient's quality of life.
Read moreTear Duct Surgery
Tear duct surgery, also known as dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR), is a surgical procedure used to treat blocked tear ducts, which can cause excessive tearing, infections, and eye irritation. This condition, known as nasolacrimal duct obstruction, prevents tears from draining properly from the eyes into the nose. Tear duct surgery creates a new drainage pathway for tears, restoring normal tear flow and relieving symptoms. It can be performed externally (through a small incision on the face) or endoscopically (through the nose, without visible scars).
Read moreStrabismus Surgery
Strabismus surgery is a specialized surgical procedure used to correct the misalignment of the eye muscles, aiming to restore proper eye alignment and improve binocular vision or cosmetic appearance. It is a common procedure in ophthalmology and can be performed on both children and adults, whether for medical necessity or aesthetic reasons.
Read moreVitrectomy
Vitrectomy is an eye surgical procedure that involves the complete or partial removal of the vitreous humor, a gel-like substance filling the back cavity of the eye. This procedure aims to treat a variety of retinal and vitreous diseases affecting vision, such as vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment, or macular hole. Vitrectomy allows the surgeon better access to the retina to perform necessary repairs and helps restore or improve vision affected by these conditions.
Read moreLASIK Eye Surgery
LASIK surgery is a corrective eye surgery procedure that uses a laser to reshape the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It aims to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses to achieve clear vision. It is a relatively quick outpatient procedure with a short recovery period.
Read moreEye Muscle Surgery
Eye muscle surgery, also known as Strabismus Surgery, is a medical procedure aimed at correcting the misalignment of the eyes that causes strabismus (crossed eyes). This is done by adjusting the length or position of one or more of the six muscles that control the movement of each eye. This surgery is commonly performed on children but can also be done on adults with similar eye alignment problems, with the goal of improving visual coordination, 3D vision, reducing double vision, and enhancing the cosmetic appearance of the eyes.
Read moreRetinal Detachment Repair
Retinal Detachment Repair Brief: Retinal detachment repair is an emergency surgical procedure aimed at reattaching the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye, to the wall of the eye. Retinal detachment occurs when this layer separates from its supporting tissue, which can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated promptly. Surgery involves repositioning the retina and sealing any tears or holes to prevent re-detachment.
Read moreRefractive Lens Exchange
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), also known as clear lens extraction, is a surgical procedure where the eye's natural clear lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to correct refractive errors and improve vision quality. This procedure is considered an alternative to laser vision correction for certain cases, especially for individuals over 40 or those with high refractive errors or early signs of cataracts. This solution provides a permanent vision correction and reduces dependence on glasses or contact lenses, while also preventing the future development of cataracts.
Read moreGlaucoma Surgery
Glaucoma surgery is a medical procedure performed to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) and prevent damage to the optic nerve, which can lead to vision loss or blindness. Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that occurs when fluid buildup in the eye increases pressure, damaging the optic nerve over time. While eye drops and medications are the first line of treatment, surgery is recommended when these methods fail to control intraocular pressure effectively. Glaucoma surgery can help slow the progression of the disease and preserve remaining vision.
Read moreMacular Hole Repair
Macular hole repair is a surgical procedure used to treat a macular hole, a small break in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. This condition can cause blurred or distorted central vision and, if left untreated, may lead to permanent vision loss. The most effective treatment for a macular hole is vitrectomy surgery, in which the eye surgeon removes the gel-like vitreous humor inside the eye and replaces it with a gas bubble to help the macula heal properly.
Read moreDry Eye Treatment
Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when tears evaporate too quickly, leading to irritation, burning, and discomfort. Dry eyes can be temporary or chronic, requiring appropriate treatment to relieve symptoms and prevent complications. Treatment options range from home remedies and medications to advanced medical procedures, depending on the severity and underlying cause of the condition.
