VISION CORRECTION SURGERIES

Cataract surgery is a procedure used to remove a cataract, which is a clouding of the natural lens of the eye that causes gradual vision loss. The operation is performed using the phacoemulsification (phaco) technique — a modern and safe method that uses ultrasound waves to break up the cloudy lens, remove it, and replace it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Vision typically improves significantly after the procedure. The surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, takes about 15 to 20 minutes, and the patient can return home the same day. Steps of the procedure: Making a very small incision in the cornea (usually less than 3 mm). Inserting the phaco probe, which emits ultrasound waves to break the cloudy lens into small fragments. Gently aspirating (removing) the fragmented lens pieces. Implanting a clear artificial lens to replace the removed natural lens. Advantages of the Phaco Technique: Very small incision with no stitches required. Faster recovery. Minimal discomfort. High precision and safety.

The retina is a thin, delicate layer of tissue located at the back of the eye. It plays a vital role in vision by receiving light and converting it into nerve signals that are transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve, forming the images we see. Any damage to the retina can lead to blurred vision or even permanent vision loss, making early detection crucial for preserving sight. Common Retinal Conditions: Retinal Detachment: Occurs when the retina separates from the back wall of the eye. This is a medical emergency that requires prompt surgical intervention to prevent permanent vision loss. Diabetic Retinopathy: A common complication of diabetes that damages the tiny blood vessels in the retina, leading to leakage, bleeding, or blurred vision. Retinal Tears or Holes: These may precede retinal detachment and can often be treated with laser therapy before they progress to more serious stages. Macular Degeneration: Typically affects older adults and involves damage to the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. Treatment and Surgical Interventions: Treatment depends on the specific condition and its severity, and may include: Laser therapy to seal retinal tears or leaking blood vessels. Intraocular injections used to reduce swelling and improve vision in cases of diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration. Vitrectomy (Retinal Surgery): A delicate surgical procedure used to remove vitreous hemorrhage, membranes, or repair retinal detachment. Important Information for Everyone: Regular retinal examinations are essential, especially for individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of retinal diseases. Any sudden flashes of light, floaters, or blurred vision should be evaluated by an eye specialist immediately. Maintaining stable blood sugar and blood pressure levels helps protect the retina. Early diagnosis and timely treatment significantly increase the chances of preserving or restoring vision.
