CataractCataract removal is a procedure to remove a clouded lens (cataract) from the eye. Cataracts are removed to improve vision. The procedure almost always includes placing an artificial lens in the eye.
CornealRefractive corneal surgery corrects mild-to-moderate nearsightedness. If you are nearsighted, you have trouble seeing things that are far away.
GlaucomaGlaucoma refers to a group of eye conditions that lead to damage to the optic nerve, the nerve that carries visual information from the eye to the brain. In many cases, damage to the optic nerve is due to increased pressure in the eye, also known as intraocular pressure (IOP).
Macular degenerationMacular degeneration is an eye disorder that damages the center of the retina, which is called the macula. This makes it difficult to see fine details.
RetinaThe retina is the internal layer of the eye that receives and transmits focused images. The retina is normally red due to its rich blood supply. Learn more about retinas and the types of surgeries performed on retinas.
Strabismus (adult)Strabismus is a disorder in which the eyes do not line up in the same direction when focusing. The condition is more commonly known as "crossed eyes." |
