  an operation to remove the blood that sometimes collects at the back of the eyes when a person has eye disease.

  Surgical procedure where vitreous is removed from the eyeball and other procedures such as laser treatment, cutting of scar tissue, removal of blood, performed at the same time during the operation.

  A surgical treatment where an ophthalmologist removes the vitreous gel and replaces it with a salt solution. Low Vision Reading Aid (LVRA #29)
 
Retinal Detachment
Opthalmology

  • visual impairment resulting from the retina becoming separated from the choroid in the back of the eye; treated by photocoagulation
  • Retinal detachment is a disorder of the eye in which the retina peels away from its underlying layer of support tissue. Initial detachment may be localized, but without rapid treatment the entire retina may detach, leading to vision loss and blindness. It is a medical emergency

Phaco + IOL
Opthalmology

What are Phaco and IOL (Intra Ocular Lens) ?

Phacoemulsification, or phaco, is method of cataract surgery in which the eye’s internal lens is emulsified using ultrasonic energy and replaced with an intraocular lens implant, or IOL.

How is it done?

Phaco surgery is performed with a small ultrasonic probe that is inserted into the eye via a two-to-three millimeter incision. This probe breaks the cloudy lens into tiny pieces and sucks the fragments out of the eye. Your doctor will place a permanent artificial lens (called an intraocular lens or IOL) where the natural lens used to be. Surgery is performed under a local anesthetic, which prevents movement of the eye. Or topical anesthetic may be used to numb the area. Most procedures take between 15 minutes and one hour.

Why is it done?

  • A cataract clouds the lens of the eye causing vision loss that interferes with daily activities.  The only effective means of restoring full and clear vision that has been compromised by cataracts is to perform surgery to remove and replace them with permanent artificial lenses.
