Ophthalmic Surgery

Ophthalmic surgery, also known as ocular surgery, is conducted on the eye and its adnexa. This specialized field is a component of ophthalmology and is typically carried out by an ophthalmologist or eye surgeon. Procedures in ophthalmic surgery can be elective, such as refractive surgery to correct vision, or essential for the treatment of various eye conditions and diseases. The use of lasers is particularly well-suited for ophthalmic surgery, offering a non-contact method for interacting with the cornea and even the interior of the eye, including the lens and retina.
