Laser Refractive Surgery: LASIK and PRK laser treatments are used to correct refractive or focusing errors by reshaping the cornea. Keratoplasty (Corneal Transplant): the damaged cornea is removed and replaced with one from a donor.

Treatment is aimed at improving drainage of the excess fluid in the eye. Laser Surgery: there are several different glaucoma laser techniques, but all involve aiming a laser beam into the eye which you will see as a bright light, similar to a camera flash. Trabeculectomy: this is a surgical procedure in which a tiny hole is made in the sclera (white of the eye) that provides an alternative fluid drainage pathway.

Laser: can be used to mend tears, seal leaking blood vessels or reattach minor retinal detachments. Cryopexy (freezing): can be used to mend tears, seal leaking blood vessels or reattach minor retinal detachments. Vitrectomy: tiny incisions (cuts) are made in the white of your eye and the jelly-like substance (vitreous) in the back of your eye is removed.

An incision (cut) is made in the lining of the eye (the clear film that covers the eyeball). The squint is corrected by repositioning the weak muscle or muscles from their original position to a new position on the eyeball.
