Macular
Degeneration
Macular degeneration is a leading cause
of blindness and is a very common condition in the elderly. It causes
reduced vision in the center of vision due to damage to the macula.
It occurs in “dry” and “wet” forms. New effective
treatments are now available for the wet type of macular degeneration
with excellent results. 
Cataract
Surgery
Cataract is a clouding
that develops in the crystalline lens of the eye and it obstructs the
passage of light to the back of the eye, resulting in reduced vision,
glare and sometimes distortion in vision. Surgery involves the use of
phacoemulsification which is an ultrasound probe and insertion of an
intraocular lens to effectively clear the vision.
Retina
Detachment
A retinal detachment occurs when the
retinal lining detaches from the back wall of the eye. This is mostly
due to a tear or a break in the lining, allowing fluid from the vitreous
jelly to leak under the retinal lining, causing the retina to lift off.
The retinal tear may occur due to trauma, and is more common in people
who are short-sighted. Urgent treatment is required to optimize recovery.
Corneal
Transplant
A corneal transplant, also known as a corneal graft,
involves the removal of the central portion of the diseased cornea and
replacing it with a matched donor button of cornea. Corneal grafts are
performed on patients with damaged or scarred corneas to restore their
vision.
