Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders, diseases, and injuries of the eye, its surrounding structures and the visual system.
Ophthalmology covers vision and other issues of the eyes that need more complex treatment than eyeglasses and contact lenses.
A doctor who specializes in this branch of medicine is an ophthalmologist. An ophthalmologist is a licensed physician who has undergone more years of medical education, training and experience to be able to provide comprehensive eye care – from prescribing eyeglasses and contact lenses to surgical eye care.
Types of eye surgery:
Eye surgery or eye surgery is performed not only to treat eye disorders and diseases but also for cosmetic reasons. Here are some in the long list of eye surgeries that can be performed in many hospitals in Turkey:
Cataract surgery and femtosecond cataract surgery
The only treatment for cataract is surgery where the lens layer in the eye that is no longer transparent is removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens (IOL or intraocular lens) that will restore the patient’s vision. No need for anesthesia but only eye drops numb during cataract surgery.
Femtosecond cataract surgery or laser is the latest treatment technology that uses a laser instead of a needle and blade.
oculoplastic surgery
Oculoplastic surgery includes a variety of eye surgeries on the eyelids, tear tracts, ocular septum (eye socket) and face. The procedures can be for medical treatment or just for aesthetic reasons such as aesthetic eyelid surgery.
refractive surgery
Refractive surgery is a type of surgery to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The most common refractive surgeries are LASIK (IntraLase LASIK), LASIK (laser in situ keratoplasty), LASEK (correction of subcutaneous epithelial keratomileusis) and PRK (refractive keratectomy).
glaucoma surgery
Glaucoma surgery involves either laser or non-laser treatment to reduce intraocular pressure in the eye that can damage the optic nerve and cause permanent vision loss.
More mental health services are needed to treat macular degeneration, cataracts and other diseases common among the world’s aging population.
