Surgeries
Desai Eye Institute offers a wide range of specialized eye surgeries to treat various vision problems and eye conditions. Our expert ophthalmologists use advanced techniques and cutting-edge technology to ensure optimal outcomes for our patients. Some of the key surgeries we perform include:
1: Cataract Surgery: The removal of the clouded lens and replacement with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to restore clear vision.
2: LASIK: A laser eye surgery designed to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
3: Glaucoma Surgery: Procedures such as trabeculectomy or tube shunt implantation to lower intraocular pressure and prevent further damage to the optic nerve in glaucoma patients.
4: Retinal Surgeries: Including vitrectomy, retinal detachment surgery, and laser therapy, to treat retinal conditions like diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal tears.
5: Pterygium Surgery: The removal of pterygium, a benign growth on the eye’s surface, to restore normal vision and comfort.
6: Corneal Transplant (Keratoplasty): A procedure to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy donor cornea to restore vision.
7: Strabismus Surgery: Correcting eye alignment issues (squint) to improve eye coordination and prevent double vision.
8: Eyelid Surgeries: Procedures to correct eyelid drooping. (ptosis), repair eyelid injuries, or remove tumours
Each surgical procedure at Desai Eye Institute is tailored to the patient’s specific needs, and we ensure a comprehensive approach to care, from diagnosis through post-operative recovery, for the best possible visual outcomes.
Medical Equipment Needed for Eye Surgeries
- Surgical Microscope: Provides high magnification and illumination for precise visualizing of delicate eye structures during surgery.
- Phacoemulsification Machine: Used for cataract surgeries to break up and remove the cloudy lens using ultrasonic energy.
- Intraocular Lenses (IOLs): Implanted after cataract removal, these lenses correct refractive errors and restore vision.
- Ophthalmic Lasers: Used in various procedures like LASIK, retinal photocoagulation, and cataract surgery (e.g., femtosecond and YAG lasers).
- Vitrectomy Machine: Essential for retinal surgeries, it helps remove the vitreous humor and clear the retina during procedures like retinal detachment surgery.
- Slit Lamp: A microscope used for detailed examination of the eye's anterior segment, crucial for pre- and post-operative assessments.
- Cryotherapy Probe: Used in retinal surgeries to freeze and seal damaged retinal tissue or tears.
- Sterile Surgical Instruments: Includes scissors, forceps, scalpels, and needle holders for precise tissue handling during eye surgeries.
