What are some types of eye surgery?

There are many different types of ophthalmology surgeries that are used to treat a variety of eye conditions. Common types of eye surgery are explained below.

Cataract Surgery: A procedure to remove a cloudy lens (cataract) and replace it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). It is one of the most common eye surgeries performed.
Glaucoma Surgery: Surgery to lower the pressure inside the eye, which is caused by a build-up of fluid. It can be performed with a laser or by surgical insertion of a device to help drain the fluid.
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) and PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy): Refractive surgeries that reshape the cornea to correct refractive errors such as near-sightedness, far-sightedness, and astigmatism.
Retinal Surgery: Performed to repair or reattach the retina, which is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. It is used to treat conditions such as retinal detachment and diabetic retinopathy.
Corneal Surgery: To repair or transplant the clear outer layer of the eye called the cornea. It is used to treat conditions such as corneal ulcers and keratoconus.
Strabismus Surgery: Helps to correct crossed or misaligned eyes by adjusting the muscles that control eye movement.
Oculoplastic Surgery: A subspecialty of ophthalmology that deals with the reconstruction and cosmetic surgery of the eyelids, tear ducts, and surrounding structures.
Vitrectomy: A procedure to remove the vitreous gel from the eye & helps to treat conditions such as retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, and macular hole.
Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty: Cosmetic surgery of the lower eyelid that removes excess fat and skin from the lower eyelid without making any incisions on the skin.

It is important to consult with an ophthalmologist to determine the best type of surgery for your specific condition. Ophthalmologists are trained to provide the best possible care to patients and will be able to answer any questions you may have about the surgery and the recovery process.
