Ophthalmology Procedures

Cataract surgery removes the eye's clouded natural lens and replaces it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL), restoring clear vision. Clinical studies report success rates exceeding 99%, though individual outcomes vary.

Sight-restoring corneal transplantation replacing damaged or diseased corneal tissue with healthy donor cornea, offering multiple techniques from full-thickness to partial-thickness procedures.

Surgical procedures to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) and prevent progressive vision loss from glaucoma. Options range from minimally invasive MIGS procedures and laser treatments to traditional trabeculectomy and tube shunts for advanced cases.

A reversible vision correction procedure using a biocompatible lens implanted behind the iris to correct high myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The only refractive procedure that preserves the cornea and can be removed if needed, with reported patient satisfaction rates exceeding 99%.

Laser-assisted vision correction surgery that reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The world's most popular refractive surgery with 40+ million procedures performed globally and reported patient satisfaction rates exceeding 95%.

Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is the original FDA-approved laser vision correction procedure. Unlike LASIK, PRK requires no corneal flap creation, making it ideal for patients with thin corneas, those in contact sports or military professions, and anyone seeking a surface ablation approach with excellent long-term stability.

Surgical removal of pterygium (surfer's eye), a benign wing-shaped growth on the conjunctiva that extends onto the cornea. Modern conjunctival autograft technique with fibrin glue achieves recurrence rates as low as 5-15%, significantly better than historical methods.

Clear lens replacement surgery that removes the eye's natural lens and implants a premium intraocular lens (IOL) to correct vision at all distances. Ideal for patients over 45 with presbyopia, high hyperopia, or high myopia who want freedom from glasses while eliminating future cataract development.

Minimally invasive laser vision correction that reshapes the cornea through a small 2-4mm incision without creating a flap. The fastest-growing refractive surgery worldwide with 12+ million procedures performed and superior corneal stability for active lifestyles.

Vitreoretinal surgery removes the vitreous gel to access and repair the retina. Used for sight-saving treatment of retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, macular holes, and vitreous hemorrhage. Modern microincision techniques (25-27 gauge) enable faster recovery with 85-95% single-surgery success rates.
