Common Eye Surgeries

When we hear the words from our ophthalmologists that we could be candidates for a surgical eye procedure, we often experience many different feelings and thoughts. From excitement and hope to doubt, questions, and even some mild fear (after all, this is a "surgical" procedure), this news can sometimes be overwhelming.

Fortunately, there is help to navigate these new possibilities. Many people are also happy to learn that these surgical eye procedures are extremely safe and can offer a world of difference for our sight and our lives. Here is a look at some of the most common types of corrective eye procedures today:

LASIK

Arguably the most popular and most touted of all the corrective eye surgery procedures, LASIK procedures are most often used to address nearsightedness, farsightedness, and issues like astigmatism.

Cataract Surgery

Sometimes referred to as lens replacement surgery, this procedure replaces lenses damaged by cataracts with artificial lenses.

Glaucoma Surgery

Glaucoma is one of the more serious vision problems people experience, and without surgery, it can often lead to blindness. This procedure is essentially designed to help create better drainage to relieve the eye pressure responsible for this condition.
