Eye Surgery and conditions briefly explained below:

Cataract surgery: Removing the affected lens (with cataract) and replacing it with an artificial lens also called an intraocular lens (IOL). An IOL lens is a clear plastic lens that becomes a permanent part of the eye. If both the eyes have cataract the surgery is performed on the eyes one at a time.

Glaucoma Surgery: Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that involves an increased elevation of pressure to the eyes caused due to retention of excess fluid in the eyes. Glaucoma is a non reversible condition; however with surgery the intraocular pressure can be reduced. The treatment can be though surgery or medication depending on the severity of the condition.

Blefaroplastic Surgery: Surgery which is performed on the eyelids and treats wrinkles, bags and sagging skin is called blefaroplastic surgery. The procedure involves repositioning or removing of the tissues and supporting the muscles by making tiny incisions on the natural creases of the upper or lower eyelids.

Refractive Surgery: Refractive eye surgery is performed to improve the refractive state of the eye and to reduce the dependency on contact lenses or glasses. Using laser technology the cornea can be reshaped. Refractive surgery helps in reducing common vision defects such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.

Refractive Surgery with Intraocular Implants: This surgery is usually performed on people who have severe sight problems and also on those who wish to do away with glasses or contact lenses. Not only is the cornea reshaped but intraocular implants are also used to correct the vision.
