Eye surgery encompasses a range of procedures designed to diagnose, treat, and correct disorders of the eye and visual system. Common categories include cataract surgery to remove clouded natural lenses and restore vision, glaucoma procedures aimed at lowering intraocular pressure to preserve optic nerve function, and oculoplastic surgeries addressing eyelid malposition, droopy eyelids, tear duct obstructions, and removal of minor skin lesions and tumors. Each type is tailored to the patient’s specific diagnosis, overall eye health, and visual goals, with advances in microsurgical techniques, intraocular lenses, and imaging improving excellent outcomes and quick recovery.
Minor procedures may be performed in the office, others, such as cataract surgery are performed in an outpatient setting.
