CATARACT SURGERY
A cataract is a white film covering the eye's lens, preventing light from seeping through. Cataracts form when protein in the eye’s lens accumulates in a clump of white, dense matter, which prevents the transfer of light to the retina. Cataract surgery is a quick way of replacing the damaged eye lens with a healthy, synthetic one in an inpatient setting.
GLAUCOMA SURGERY
Glaucoma refers to a group of diseases that cause pressure to build around the optic nerve connecting the eye to the brain. If left untreated, the optic nerve gradually becomes damaged, leading to eventual blindness. Total vision loss can be prevented, however, by reducing the pressure on the optic nerve to avoid further damage.
