Ophthalmology Surgery

Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine focused on the health of your eyes. Surgeries in this field are performed by specialised doctors known as Ophthalmologists, who are experts trained in both medical and surgical care for a vast range of eye-related conditions. We offer a comprehensive suite of treatments, procedures, and surgeries, detailed below:

Cataract Surgery

‍This is the most commonly performed eye surgery. If you have a clouded eye lens due to cataracts, this surgery is undertaken to replace the clouded lens with a synthetic clear one helping you regain normal vision.‍

Glaucoma Surgery

‍Glaucoma is a condition that damages your eye's optic nerve - the health of which is critical for good vision. This surgery aims to reduce the pressure in the eye, thus preventing further damage to the optic nerve.‍

Corneal Transplant

‍For individuals suffering from a damaged or diseased cornea, this surgery replaces the problematic cornea with donated corneal tissue.

Squint Surgery

We offer both bilateral and unilateral surgical correction of squint, or strabismus. Strabismus is an ocular condition where the eyes don't align properly, and instead, each eye looks in a different direction. For those who have this condition, it could lead to deteriorated vision or even loss of depth perception. Luckily, our clinic offers appropriate surgical interventions to correct this, helping you regain appropriate ocular alignment and improving your overall vision health.

‍Bilateral Squint Surgery

In this instance, both eyes are corrected during the same procedure. During surgical correction, your ophthalmologist will adjust the length or positioning of eye muscles, in order to realign your eyes. This type of surgery is typically considered when the squint affects both eyes.

Unilateral Squint Surgery

As compared to the bilateral surgery, the unilateral squint surgery is performed on one eye only. This is an ideal treatment if only one eye is affected. Our clinic ensures precision and safety during the operation, immensely reducing the risk of any post-operative complications.

Correction of ectropion upper and lower lid

Ectropion refers to the condition where the eyelid turns outwards, while entropion is when it rolls inwards - both can lead to discomfort and damage to the eye. This procedure rectifies such anomalies, reinstating both the functionality and aesthetics of your eyelids.

Drainage of conjunctival cyst

This is a minor procedure often performed under local anaesthesia to alleviate discomfort and potential vision obstruction. This process involves surgical removal of the fluid-filled sac (cyst) that has formed under the conjunctiva, the clear tissue covering the white part of your eye.

Dacryocystorhinostomy:

This surgery may be required if you have a blocked tear duct causing persistent watery eyes or infections. The process involves creating a new pathway for tears to drain from your eye by bypassing the blocked part of your tear duct. During the surgery, a small metal or plastic tube is inserted and later removed to ensure the new tear duct remains open.

Process Involved

Initially, a consultation is necessary to discuss your specific condition and evaluate the most suitable procedure for you with an experienced ophthalmologist. This involves a comprehensive eye examination to diagnose your eye's current state, including vision tests, eye muscle balance, and other critical factors. The detail shared in this session equips you with an understanding of the underlying problem, the proposed solution, and the intricacies of the surgical process.

Following the consultation, you'll be scheduled for the specific type of surgery. There may be preparation procedures where your ophthalmologist might instruct you to follow a certain eating, drinking, and medication regimen before the surgery.

The day of the surgery is meticulously planned. The surgical process will depend on the type of ophthalmology surgery - but rest assured, ensuring your comfort is a priority. Sedation or local anaesthesia is typically used. During the surgery, you can expect the ophthalmologist to use specialised instruments and techniques to treat the specific eye condition.

Post-surgery, you can expect to go through a healing period, during which time you will have post-operative reviews. This involves monitoring your recovery and catching any complications at an early stage. In these reviews, your surgeon will give advice on things like symptom management, medication, and activities to avoid during your recovery.
