Eye surgery, by an ophthalmologist or occasionally, an optometrist. The eye is a veritably fragile organ, and requires extreme care before, during, and after a surgical procedure to minimize or help farther damage.

Types of eye surgery

Common types of eye surgery are explained below. The descriptions incorporate information handed by the National Eye Institute, National Institutes of Health.

1. Blepharoplasty. To repair droopy eyelids, the doctor makes a small gash or lacerations to remove skin and muscle and to remove or budge fat.
2. Cataract surgery. A cataract is a cloudy area in the lens of your eye that can make it hard to see easily.
3. Corneal transplant. The doctor uses a special tool to keep your eye open while removing the damaged part of your cornea and replacing it with healthy patron towel. Doctor can do a full consistence corneal transplant (piercing keratoplasty) or a partial consistence transplant (lamellar keratoplasty).
4. Glaucoma surgeries. For glaucoma implants, the doctor inserts a bits tube called a shunt into the white of your eye; the tube helps redundant fluid drain out of your eye, lowering your eye pressure. In a trabeculectomy, the doctor creates a bits opening in the top of your eye, under your eyelid, to allow the redundant fluid to drain.
