Advanced Treatments for Better Eye Health and Comfort

Pterygium Surgery

Pterygium Surgery is a procedure designed to remove a pterygium, a non-cancerous growth of the conjunctiva (the clear, thin tissue that lays over the white part of the eye) that extends onto the cornea. These growths are often related to excessive exposure to sunlight and wind. Pterygium surgery not only improves the appearance of the eye but also relieves uncomfortable symptoms such as irritation, redness, and vision obstruction. The procedure involves removing the growth and placing a graft to prevent recurrence, leading to enhanced comfort and potentially improved vision.

Corneal Transplantation

Corneal Transplantation, also known as keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace part of your cornea with corneal tissue from a donor. It’s performed to restore vision, reduce pain, and improve the appearance of a damaged or diseased cornea. There are different types of corneal transplantation, including full-thickness (penetrating keratoplasty) and partial-thickness (lamellar keratoplasty), depending on the extent of corneal damage. This surgery is essential for individuals with corneal scarring, keratoconus, or corneal ulcers, offering them the opportunity to regain functional vision.

Superficial Keratectomy

Superficial Keratectomy involves the removal of the outer layers of the cornea to treat surface corneal abnormalities, such as superficial corneal scars, dystrophies, or irregularities. This procedure can alleviate vision problems and discomfort associated with these conditions, leading to clearer vision and reduced symptoms. Superficial Keratectomy is often performed with local anesthesia in an outpatient setting, allowing for a relatively quick recovery and improvement in vision quality.
