Cataract Surgery with Intraocular Lens Implantation

Cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation is one of the most common and successful procedures performed to restore vision. During this procedure, the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens, known as an intraocular lens (IOL). This outpatient surgery typically takes 15-30 minutes and involves a small incision. The advanced technique ensures minimal discomfort and rapid recovery, allowing you to resume daily activities soon after. It's crucial as cataracts lead to diminished vision, and untreated, can cause blindness. Our department utilizes cutting-edge technology for optimal outcomes, ensuring better quality of life with enhanced visual clarity.

    Laser Surgery

Laser surgery in ophthalmology includes procedures like LASIK for vision correction and laser photocoagulation for retinal diseases. LASIK reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors such as myopia, offering freedom from glasses or contacts. For retinal disorders, laser photocoagulation stabilizes retinal conditions by sealing leaking blood vessels. These minimally invasive procedures provide precise and effective treatment solutions, reducing recovery time and improving vision outcomes. In ophthalmology, laser techniques have revolutionized treatment, providing you with safer alternatives and lasting visual improvements.

Vitrectomy

Vitrectomy is a delicate procedure performed to treat various retinal and vitreous problems. It's often used for removing blood or scar tissue caused by trauma or retinal detachment. During a vitrectomy, your surgeon removes the vitreous gel to access the retina and repair any damage. This procedure is critical for maintaining eye health and ensuring visual clarity when retinal conditions are present. Our ophthalmologists utilize state-of-the-art instruments to ensure precision, leading to improved visual outcomes and recovery of sight in complex cases.
