Types of Surgery

A non-invasive corneal strengthening treatment, particularly for keratoconus patients. It prevents disease progression and stabilizes vision through an ultraviolet light and riboflavin technique.”
involves a procedure to replace the eye’s clouded lens with an intraocular lens, or IOL. This effectively restores clear vision and significantly enhances your quality of life, all in a fast and safe manner.
Is ideal for patients with high myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness). It involves implanting premium intraocular lenses to correct vision, freeing you from relying on glasses or contact lenses
Uses Excimer and femtosecond lasers to correct myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. It offers fast recovery, high precision, and excellent visual outcomes
For serious conditions like retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, or epiretinal membranes, retinal surgery provides crucial treatments. Utilizing advanced techniques like vitrectomy and laser photocoagulation, its primary goal is to save or improve your vision.
Includes procedures designed to restore the cornea’s transparency and curvature. These treatments encompass various transplant techniques (such as DMEK, DSAEK, and PK) and specialized care for corneal dystrophies and severe corneal injuries
Iridotomy is a safe and quick ophthalmological procedure that consists of creating a small hole in the colored part of the eye (the iris) with a laser, to allow the aqueous humor to circulate freely between the posterior and anterior chambers of the eye. This helps to relieve or prevent the increase in intraocular pressure that can cause glaucoma, by preventing pupillary block and stabilizing the pressure inside the eye.
It is an ophthalmic laser treatment that molds the tissue of the peripheral iris to move it away from the trabecular meshwork, facilitating the drainage of aqueous humor and reducing intraocular pressure in cases of narrow or closed-angle glaucoma.
It is a glaucoma surgery that creates a new drainage pathway for the aqueous humor, the fluid inside the eye, thereby reducing intraocular pressure and preventing future damage to the optic nerve caused by glaucoma.
It is a surgical procedure used to treat advanced or refractory glaucoma, which has not responded to other treatments. The goal is to reduce and control intraocular pressure (IOP), thereby preventing further damage to the optic nerve and preventing vision loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best procedure depends on your specific diagnosis, visual needs, and lifestyle. For instance, laser vision correction is ideal for those with refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism. Patients with keratoconus may benefit from corneal crosslinking, while those with high refractive errors or age-related lens changes might be candidates for intraocular lens implants.


During your initial evaluation, our ophthalmology team will use advanced diagnostic tools to determine the most effective and safest option tailored to your case.
No, it’s a quick and safe procedure performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain. Visual recovery typically begins within the first 24 to 48 hours, and most patients can resume many of their daily activities within a week—always following medical instructions.
Most patients achieve clear vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses. Thanks to advanced technologies like Excimer and femtosecond lasers, the results are highly precise and tailored to your eyes. Our goal is for you to see clearly, comfortably, and confidently—with a fast recovery process.
Symptoms like sudden blurry vision, flashes of light, shadows, or progressive vision loss may indicate an issue with the retina or cornea. Using advanced diagnostic tools such as OCT and specular microscopy, we provide an accurate assessment to determine whether a specific procedure—like a vitrectomy or a corneal transplant—is necessary. Our board-certified ophthalmologists will guide you through every step of the process.
