عینیات - سائنس کی وہ شاخ جو آنکھوں کی ساخت، افعال اور بیماریوں سے متعلق ہے۔

Many different disorders can be treated with eye surgery including cataracts, glaucoma, detached retinas, retinal tears, diabetic retinopathy and nearsightedness or farsightedness.

What are some types of Eye Surgery?

The following describes the typical types of eye surgery.

Blepharoplasty:
A small incision or incisions are made by the doctor to remove skin, muscle, and/or fat in order to correct droopy eyes.

Cataract Surgery:
A cataract is a cloudy area in the lens of your eye that can reduce your vision. The doctor uses microscopic tools to remove the clouded lens and replace it with an artificial lens.

Corneal Transplant:
The doctor replaces the damaged portion of your cornea with healthy donor tissue while using a special tool to keep your eye open.

Glaucoma Surgeries:
For glaucoma implants, the physician inserts a thin tube known as a shunt into the white of your eye. The tube aids in the drainage of surplus fluid from the eye which lowers eye pressure. A tiny hole is made under your eyelid at the top of your eye during a trabeculectomy to allow the surplus fluid to drain.

LASIK (laser in-situ keratomileusis):
When an adult with nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism undergoes this laser eye surgery, the doctor modifies the cornea's shape with a powerful laser beam which improves their vision.

Retina surgeries:
A damaged or detached retina can be fixed using a variety of techniques, some of which can be combined. The doctor may use a freezing probe (cryopexy) or a laser to induce tiny burns that will repair a tear or hole and help keep your retina in place (photocoagulation). In scleral buckle surgery, the surgeon wraps a small, flexible band around the sclera which is the white area of your eye. This band gently prods your eye's sides in the direction of your retina to aid in their reattachment. In pneumatic retinopexy, the physician places a tiny air bubble in the center of your eyeball to force your retina back into position before performing the freezing or burning procedure. In order to provide the surgeon better access to the retina and create space for the bubble, During a vitrectomy, the majority of the vitreous is removed using a suction tool (the gel-like fluid that fills the eye).

Special anesthesia note for pneumatic retinopexy patients:
It is crucial that you inform your anesthesiologist in advance of any operation if you will be having one soon after having pneumatic retinopexy. After your eye surgery, an air bubble may still be present in your eye for five days to several months. Some anesthetics can interact with this air bubble and alter its size.

Eye muscle surgery:
When a person has strabismus, one or both of their eyes may drift inward, outward, upward or downward. Surgery is not the only option for treatment but if it is necessary, a surgeon will use procedures to weaken or strengthen the eye muscles in an effort to return them to their normal position. This can entail cutting a muscle in half or reattaching a muscle to another area of the eye.
