Eye Surgery Eleanor McCarthy

Eye surgery or ocular surgery is the surgery performed on the eye or its adnexa, including the eyebrows, eyelids and lacrimal apparatus. It is a sensitive procedure requiring extreme care, before, during and after the procedure to prevent or minimize any damage. Conditions of the eye, such as myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism can be addressed through a laser eye surgery. Cataract surgery is a widely practiced type of eye surgery. It is performed to correct any opacification or cloudiness of the eye lens. Other common procedures such as refractive surgery, vitreo-retinal surgery, corneal surgery, oculoplastic surgery, etc. are performed to treat abnormalities in the eye. Due to the dense network of nerves in the eye, ocular surgery is always performed under anesthesia, whether local, topical or general.
