Eye is one of the most sensitive organs of our body. Before, during and after the eye surgery attention and expertise at the highest level is required. Our eye health may be destroyed because of congenital reasons, environmental factors or age but by means of recent advances in the field of eye surgery now many sicknesses are not seen as “fate”.
Eye surgery can be used for many eye diseases. Cataract which is one of the most widely seen sicknesses is not possible to be treated by using drugs or prescription glasses. Therefore, cataract patients are required to undergo surgery. In the treatment of cataract which occurs in case of the natural lens in the eye losing its transparency, a new eye lens is put in place of the eye lens which has lost its transparency through a surgical intervention. Eye pressure which is called glaucoma is a sickness which is caused by the pressure inside the eye being high and which may lead to blindness if it is not diagnosed early and treated. Cornea transplant is another eye surgery operation. The transparency of the cornea which is the name given to the transparent tissue in the front section of the eye may be deformed due to various factors. Deformation in the shape of the cornea in keratoconus disease requires transplantation through a surgical intervention.
The method which is the most frequently used in refractive surgery which is the field of surgery regarding treatment of the refractory defects in the eye is LASIK. This method is painless and can be applied in a short time. It also does not involve any needle and stitching operation to the eye. By means of LASIK which is mostly known as laser treatment, every year the eyes of millions of people regain their health.
