Cataract surgery

Cataract extraction with implantation of Intraocular lens (IOL)

Glaucoma surgery

Facilitates the escape of excess aqueous humor from the eye to lower intraocular pressure, and sometimes lower IOP by decreasing the production of aqueous humor.Laser sugeries are also available for this.

Refractive surgery

To correct errors of refraction in the eye, reducing or eliminating the need for corrective lenses. In certain cases this can be achieved by laser.

Corneal surgery

Corneal surgery includes most refractive surgery as well as corneal transplant surgery.

Lasers used to treat non-refractive conditions (e.g. to seal a retinal tear)

Vitreo-retinal surgery

Anterior vitrectomy is the removal of the front portion of vitreous tissue.

Retinal detachment repair

A scleral buckle is used in the repair of a retinal detachment. Eye muscle surgeryEye muscle surgery typically corrects squint.
