Eye surgery has been used as a treatment option since the 1980s. Over the years, the number of patients with eye problems has gone up. However, ophthalmologists are using advanced eye treatment methods to treat conditions like astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness. Here are four reasons that might lead to having an eye surgery.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma comprises of several ailments that result to sight loss. Aqueous humor, a clear liquid, is responsible for the condition. Eye drops and ocular steroids are used as the primary solutions for glaucoma. Your physician’s discretion will determine the procedure to use when treating glaucoma. The secondary solution includes surgery. In this procedure, the aqueous humor from the eye is removed. However, the procedure is painless. After surgery care is important for a full recovery.

Cataract

A cataract is among the commonly known eye disorders across the world. This condition is attributed to old age and diabetes. Common symptoms of cataract ailment include double vision, cloudy vision, and poor vision at night. Your ophthalmologist will go for cataract surgery since it is simple and accessible. Therefore, be ready to spend around 12 hours in the hospital for observation after the procedure.

Macular Degeneration

People over 65 years old are likely to have macular degeneration. The ailment involves the retina breaking down at the middle part. Obesity, poor nutritional habits, and lifestyle choices such as smoking also intensify macular degeneration. The main treatment options include injection therapy and implanting a telescope in the lens through surgery. However, the optician must consider other diseases like blood pressure and diabetes when operating on an aged person.

Squint

Squints and refractive issues are common eye deformities. They cause poor sight, depth perception issues, blurry vision, and might change the eye structure. Congenital defects, aging, and injuries are likely to cause these deformities. Ophthalmologists use various types of oculoplastic procedures to correct the problem. Besides, these surgeries are painless and do not take a lot of time. In most instances, the procedures are carried out under an anesthetic. The procedures correct the tear duct, squints, and droopy eyelids.

Ophthalmologists prefer surgery since it removes unwanted materials from an eye and fixes the ailing parts. Work on a healthy lifestyle to avoid some of these ailments. Further, it is important that you follow given instructions when taking care of your health before and after the surgery.
