Other Procedures

Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)

Refractive lens exchange (RLE), is when a clear lens is implanted to replace your eye’s natural lens to correct your vision.

This procedure is often used for pre-cataract patients, as a preventative vision correction solution. Refractive lens exchange (RLE) can also correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

Pediatric Strabismus Surgery

Pediatric strabismus surgery is a procedure aimed at correcting misalignment of the eyes in children. Strabismus, commonly known as crossed eyes or squint, occurs when the eyes are not properly aligned and do not move together as a team. This condition can lead to double vision, reduced depth perception, and visual impairment if left untreated.

Pediatric strabismus surgery is considered safe and effective in correcting eye misalignment and improving visual function in children. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks and potential complications, including over- or under-correction of the misalignment, double vision, and infection. Close follow-up with an ophthalmologist or pediatric ophthalmologist is essential to monitor the child’s progress and ensure optimal outcomes. Additionally, vision therapy or orthoptic exercises may be recommended following surgery to help improve eye coordination and binocular vision.

Glaucoma Surgery

Glaucoma surgery encompasses various surgical procedures aimed at reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) to prevent or slow down the progression of glaucoma—a group of eye conditions characterized by damage to the optic nerve, often associated with elevated IOP.

There are several types of glaucoma surgery, including:

1. Trabeculectomy: This is one of the most common surgical procedures for glaucoma. During a trabeculectomy, a small flap is created in the sclera (the white part of the eye), allowing aqueous humor (the fluid inside the eye) to drain out of the eye and reduce IOP. Sometimes, a small device called a shunt or a drainage tube may be used to facilitate drainage.

2. Glaucoma Drainage Implants: Also known as glaucoma shunts or tubes, these devices are implanted into the eye to help drain aqueous humor and lower IOP. They are often used when other forms of glaucoma surgery, such as trabeculectomy, have not been successful.

3. Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): MIGS procedures are a newer category of glaucoma surgery that aim to reduce IOP through minimally invasive techniques with shorter recovery times and fewer complications compared to traditional surgeries. Examples of MIGS procedures include trabecular micro-bypass stents and canaloplasty.

4. Laser Surgery: Various laser procedures, such as selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI), and cyclophotocoagulation, are used to lower IOP by improving the outflow of aqueous humor or reducing its production.

The choice of glaucoma surgery depends on factors such as the type and severity of glaucoma, the patient’s overall health, and the surgeon’s preference and expertise. The goal of glaucoma surgery is to reduce IOP and preserve vision by preventing further damage to the optic nerve. However, it is important to note that while glaucoma surgery can help manage the condition, it may not always restore lost vision. Patients should discuss the potential risks, benefits, and alternatives of glaucoma surgery with their ophthalmologist or glaucoma specialist to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for their individual needs.

Brow Lift

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift or browplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to rejuvenate the appearance of the forehead, eyebrows, and upper eyelids by raising the eyebrows and reducing the appearance of wrinkles, lines, and sagging skin in the forehead region.

There are different techniques for performing a brow lift. The choice of technique depends on factors such as the patient’s anatomy, aesthetic goals, and the extent of correction required.

Brow lift surgery can effectively address a variety of concerns, including drooping eyebrows, forehead furrows, frown lines, and hooding of the upper eyelids. By restoring a more youthful and refreshed appearance to the upper face, a brow lift can help improve self-confidence and overall facial harmony.

ENTROPION/ECTROPION

Entropion and ectropion are both eyelid conditions that involve the abnormal positioning of the eyelid margin, leading to irritation, discomfort, and in some cases, vision problems.

1. Entropion: Entropion occurs when the eyelid margin turns inward, causing the eyelashes and skin to rub against the cornea and conjunctiva (the clear membrane covering the white part of the eye). This can lead to symptoms such as eye redness, irritation, tearing, and blurred vision. Entropion is commonly caused by age-related changes to the eyelid tissues, scarring from injury or surgery, or underlying conditions such as trachoma or Bell’s palsy.

2. Ectropion: Ectropion occurs when the eyelid margin turns outward, exposing the inner surface of the eyelid and the conjunctiva to the environment. This can lead to symptoms such as eye dryness, irritation, tearing, and sensitivity to light. Ectropion may also cause cosmetic concerns, as the lower eyelid may appear droopy or sagging. Ectropion is commonly caused by age-related weakening of the eyelid tissues, scarring from injury or surgery, or conditions such as facial nerve palsy or skin disorders.

Both entropion and ectropion can be treated with surgical correction to reposition the eyelid margin and restore normal eyelid function. The specific treatment approach will depend on the underlying cause of the condition, the severity of symptoms, and other factors such as the patient’s overall health and preferences. It is essential for individuals experiencing symptoms of entropion or ectropion to consult with an ophthalmologist or oculoplastic surgeon for evaluation and appropriate management.
