Eye surgery, also known as ocular surgery, is surgery performed on the eye or its adnexa, typically by an ophthalmologist. The eye is a fragile organ, and requires extreme care before, during, and after a surgical procedure. An expert eye surgeon is responsible for selecting the appropriate surgical procedure for the patient, and for taking the necessary safety precautions. Mentions of eye surgery can be found in several ancient texts. Today it continues to be a widely practiced type of surgery, having developed various techniques for treating eye problems.

Preparation and precautions

Since the eye is heavily supplied by nerves, anesthesia is essential. Local anesthesia is most commonly used. Topical anesthesia using lidocaine topical gel are often used for quick procedures. Since topical anesthesia requires cooperation from the patient, general anesthesia is often used for children, traumatic eye injuries, major orbitotomies and for apprehensive patients. The physician administering anesthesia, or a nurse anesthetist or anesthetist assistant with expertise in anesthesia of the eye, monitors the patient's cardiovascular status. Sterile precautions are taken to prepare the area for surgery and lower the risk of infection. These precautions include the use of antiseptics, such as povidone-iodine, and sterile drapes, gowns and gloves.

Laser eye surgery

Although the terms laser eye surgery and refractive surgery are commonly used as if they were interchangeable, this is not the case. Lasers may be used to treat nonrefractive conditions (e.g. to seal a retinal tear). Laser eye surgery or laser corneal surgery is a medical procedure that uses a laser to reshape the surface of the eye. This is done to correct myopia (short-sightedness), hypermetropia (long sightedness) and astigmatism (uneven curvature of the eye's surface). It is important to note that refractive surgery is not compatible with everyone, and rarely people may find that eyewear is still needed after surgery.

Recent developments also include procedures that can change eye color from brown to blue.

Cataract surgery

A cataract is an opacification or cloudiness of the eye's crystalline lens due to aging, disease, or trauma that typically prevents light from forming a clear image on the retina. If visual loss is significant, surgical removal of the lens may be warranted, with lost optical power usually replaced with a plastic intraocular lens (IOL). Owing to the high prevalence of cataracts, cataract extraction is the most common eye surgery. Rest after surgery is recommended.

Glaucoma surgery

Glaucoma is a group of diseases affecting the optic nerve that results in vision loss and is frequently characterized by raised intraocular pressure (IOP). There are many types of glaucoma surgery, and variations or combinations of those types, that facilitate the escape of excess aqueous humor from the eye to lower intraocular pressure, and a few that lower IOP by decreasing the production of aqueous humor.

Canaloplasty

Canaloplasty is an advanced, nonpenetrating procedure designed to enhance drainage through the eye's natural drainage system to provide sustained reduction of IOP. Canaloplasty utilizes microcatheter technology in a simple and minimally invasive procedure. To perform a canaloplasty, an Ophthalmologist creates a tiny incision to gain access to a canal in the eye. A microcatheter circumnavigates the canal around the iris, enlarging the main drainage channel and its smaller collector channels through the injection of a sterile, gel-like material called viscoelastic. The catheter is then removed and a suture is placed within the canal and tightened. By opening up the canal, the pressure inside the eye can be reduced.

Refractive surgery

Refractive surgery aims to correct errors of refraction in the eye, reducing or eliminating the need for corrective lenses

  • Keratomilleusis is a method of reshaping the cornea surface to change its optical power. A disc of cornea is shaved off, quickly frozen, lathe-ground, then returned to its original power.
  • Automated lamellar keratoplasty (ALK)
  • Laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK)
  • Laser assisted sub-epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK), a.k.a. Epi-LASIK
  • Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK)
  • Laser thermal keratoplasty (LTK)
  • Conductive keratoplasty (CK) uses radio frequency waves to shrink corneal collagen. It is used to treat mild to moderate hyperopia.
  • Limbal relaxing incisions (LRI) to correct minor astigmatism
  • Astigmatic keratotomy (AK), a.k.a. Arcuate keratotomy or Transverse keratotomy
  • Radial keratotomy (RK)
  • Hexagonal keratotomy (HK)
  • Epikeratophakia is the removal of the corneal epithelium and replacement with a lathe cut corneal button.
  • Intracorneal rings (ICRs), or corneal ring segments
  • Implantable contact lenses
  • Presbyopia reversal
  • Anterior ciliary sclerotomy (ACS)
  • Scleral reinforcement surgery for the mitigation of degenerative myopia

Corneal surgery

Corneal surgery includes most refractive surgery as well as the following:

  • Corneal transplant surgery, is used to remove a cloudy/diseased cornea and replace it with a clear donor cornea.
  • Penetrating keratoplasty (PK)
  • Keratoprosthesis(KPro)
  • Phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK)
  • Pterygium excision
  • Corneal tattooing
  • Osteo-Odonto-Keratoprosthesis (OOKP), in which support for an artificial cornea is created from a tooth and its surrounding jawbone. This is a still-experimental procedure used for patients with severely damaged eyes, generally from burns.
  • Eye color change surgery through an iris implant, known as Brightocular, or stripping away the top layer of eye pigment, known as the Stroma procedure.

  • Pan retinal photocoagulation (PRP) is a type of photocoagulation therapy used in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
  • Retinal detachment repair
    • Ignipuncture is an obsolete procedure that involves cauterization of the retina with a very hot pointed instrument.
    • A scleral buckle is used in the repair of a retinal detachment to indent or "buckle" the sclera inward, usually by sewing a piece of preserved sclera or silicone rubber to its surface.
    • Laser photocoagulation, or photocoagulation therapy, is the use of a laser to seal a retinal tear.
    • Pneumatic retinopexy
    • Retinal cryopexy, or retinal cryotherapy, is a procedure that uses intense cold to induce a chorioretinal scar and to destroy retinal or choroidal tissue.
  • Macular hole repair
  • Partial lamellar sclerouvectomy
  • Partial lamellar sclerocyclochoroidectomy
  • Partial lamellar sclerochoroidectomy

Oculoplastic surgery

Oculoplastic surgery, or oculoplastics, is the subspecialty of ophthalmology that deals with the reconstruction of the eye and associated structures. Oculoplastic surgeons perform procedures such as the repair of droopy eyelids (blepharoplasty)[5], repair of tear duct obstructions, orbital fracture repairs, removal of tumors in and around the eyes, and facial rejuvenation procedures including laser skin resurfacing, eye lifts, brow lifts, and even facelifts. Common procedures are:

Eyelid surgery

  • Blepharoplasty (Eyelift)
    • Blepharoplasty is plastic surgery of the eyelids to remove excessive skin or subcutaneous fat.
      • Asian blepharoplasty
  • Ptosis repair for droopy eyelid
    • Ectropion repair [6]
  • Entropion repair
  • Canthal resection
    • A canthectomy is the surgical removal of tissue at the junction of the upper and lower eyelids.
    • Cantholysis is the surgical division of the canthus.
    • Canthopexy
    • A canthoplasty is plastic surgery at the canthus.
    • A canthorrhaphy is suturing of the outer canthus to shorten the palpebral fissure.
    • A canthotomy is the surgical division of the canthus, usually the outer canthus.
      • A lateral canthotomy is the surgical division of the outer canthus.
  • Epicanthoplasty
  • Tarsorrhaphy is a procedure in which the eyelids are partially sewn together to narrow the opening (i.e. palpebral fissure).

Orbital surgery

  • Orbital reconstruction / Ocular prosthetics (False Eyes)
  • Orbital decompression for Grave's Disease. Grave's Disease is a condition (often associated with over-active thyroid problems) in which the eye muscles swell. Because the eye socket is bone, there is nowhere for the swelling to be accommodated and as a result the eye is pushed forward into a protruded position. In some patients this is very pronounced. Orbitial decompression involves removing some bone from the eye socket to open up one or more sinuses and so make space for the swollen tissue and allowing the eye to move back into normal position.

Other oculoplastic surgery

  • Botox injections
  • Ultrapeel Microdermabrasion
  • Endoscopic forehead and browlift
  • Face lift (Rhytidectomy)
  • Liposuction of the face and neck
  • Browplasty
