Our
physicians perform most of our surgery at Glendale Eye Surgery
Center.
Listed
below are our most common surgeries performed:
|
CATARACT
EXTRACTION WITH INTRAOCULER LENS IMPLANTATION
What is cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation?
A
cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation is a procedure
in which an eye surgeon removes a clouded lens (cataract) from the
eye and replaces it with an artificial lens (lens implant).
YAG
LASER CAPSULOTOMY
What is a YAG laser capsulotomy?
A YAG laser capsulotomy is a procedure in which an eye surgeon makes
a small opening in the capsule of your eye. The capsule is the thin,
clear membrane that holds the lens in place. During a YAG laser
capsulotomy, your eye surgeon uses a special laser to make a cut
in the capsule. This makes a clear opening for light rays to pass
through.
When
is it used?
Sometimes, especially after cataract surgery, the capsule becomes
cloudy. Your vision becomes blurry. This procedure can improve your
vision.
GLAUCOMA SURGERY
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) is used to reduce or eliminate
the need for glaucoma drops. The SLT laser should promote drainage
of fluid from your eye. The procedure is done in our office.
Trabeculectomy - we also treat glaucoma by trabeculectomy. This
procedure is done in our surgery center.
DROOPY
EYELIDS/PTOSIS SURGERY
If vision is obstructed or reduced due to droopy lids, or you wish
to be rid of that "tired" look, eyelid surgery is performed
in the comfort of our surgery center.
