Learn about the most common eye surgery procedures, what to expect, and find clinics that specialize in each treatment.
LASIK · SMILE · PRK · LASEK
Laser Eye Surgery
Laser eye surgery reshapes your cornea to correct refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The most popular methods include LASIK (creating a flap and reshaping underneath), SMILE (minimally invasive small incision), and PRK (surface treatment).
Best for patients aged 20-45 with stable vision prescription.
Phacoemulsification · Premium IOLs
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes the cloudy natural lens and replaces it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Modern phacoemulsification uses ultrasound to break up the cataract through a tiny incision. Premium IOLs can also correct presbyopia and astigmatism.
For patients with cloudy or blurry vision caused by cataracts, typically age 60+.
RLE · ICL · Phakic IOLs
Lens Replacement
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) replaces your natural lens with a premium artificial lens, even if you don't have cataracts. Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICL) are placed in front of your natural lens. Both can correct high prescriptions where laser isn't suitable.
For patients with high prescriptions or those not suitable for laser surgery.
Trabeculectomy · Laser · Drainage implants
Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma treatments aim to reduce intraocular pressure to prevent optic nerve damage. Options range from laser trabeculoplasty (non-invasive) to surgical trabeculectomy and micro-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). Early detection is key to preserving vision.
For patients diagnosed with glaucoma or elevated intraocular pressure.
