Surgery & Post Operative Care

Ophthalmic Surgery

Eye surgery, also known as ophthalmic or optical surgery, is surgery performed on the eye or its adnexa, by an ophthalmologist or occasionally, an optometrist. Eye surgery is synonymous with ophthalmology. The eye is a veritably fragile organ, and requires extreme care before, during, and after a surgical procedure to minimize or help farther damage. An expert eye surgeon is responsible for opting the applicable surgical procedure for the case, and for taking the necessary safety preventives. Citations of eye surgery can be set up in several ancient textbooks dating back as beforehand as 1800 BC, with cataract treatment starting in the fifth century BC moment it continues to be a extensively rehearsed type of surgery, with colourful ways having been developed for treating eye problems.
