Ophthalmology Services at MEDVOYAGER
At MEDVOYAGER, our ophthalmology department is dedicated to providing comprehensive eye care and advanced treatments for various eye conditions. Our team of experienced ophthalmologists and eye surgeons uses state-of-the-art technology to ensure the best outcomes for our patients.
Lasik Eye Surgery
LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular procedure to correct vision issues such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.
Procedure
A laser is used to reshape the cornea, allowing light to be properly focused onto the retina.
Benefits
Quick recovery, reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses, and improved vision.
Diabetic Eye Surgery
Diabetic eye surgery addresses complications from diabetes, such as diabetic retinopathy.
Procedure
Treatments include laser photocoagulation to seal leaking blood vessels, vitrectomy to remove blood and scar tissue from the eye, and injections of medications to reduce swelling.
Benefits
Prevents vision loss, manages symptoms, and improves overall eye health.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens of the eye and replacing it with a clear artificial lens.
Procedure
The cloudy lens is removed using phacoemulsification (ultrasound) or laser-assisted technology, and an intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted.
Benefits
Restores clear vision, improves quality of life, and is a highly successful and common procedure.
Retinal Detachment Treatment
Retinal detachment occurs when the retina separates from the back of the eye, requiring prompt treatment.
Procedure
Treatments include laser surgery to seal retinal tears, pneumatic retinopexy to reattach the retina using a gas bubble, and scleral buckle surgery to push the retina back into place.
Benefits
Prevents permanent vision loss, restores normal retinal function, and maintains eye health.
Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to high intraocular pressure.
Procedure
Treatments include medicated eye drops, laser therapy (trabeculoplasty), and surgical procedures (trabeculectomy or shunt implantation) to reduce intraocular pressure.
Benefits
Prevents further optic nerve damage, preserves vision, and manages intraocular pressure.
Squint Surgery
Squint (strabismus) surgery corrects misalignment of the eyes.
Procedure
Involves adjusting the muscles around the eyes to align them properly.
Benefits
Improves eye alignment and coordination, enhances binocular vision, and boosts confidence.
Vitrectomy
Vitrectomy is a procedure to remove the vitreous gel from the eye.
Procedure
The vitreous gel is removed and replaced with a saline solution to treat conditions like retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, and macular holes.
Benefits
Restores vision, prevents complications, and treats severe eye conditions effectively
PRK Lasik
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a type of laser eye surgery to correct vision issues.
Procedure
The outer layer of the cornea is removed, and a laser reshapes the underlying corneal tissue.
Benefits
Effective for patients with thin corneas, improves vision, and reduces dependence on glasses or contacts.
SMILE Lasik Surgery
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a minimally invasive laser eye surgery for vision correction.
Procedure
A small incision is made, and a lenticule (small piece of corneal tissue) is removed to reshape the cornea.
Benefits
Less invasive, quick recovery, and fewer side effects compared to traditional LASIK.
FEMTO Lasik Surgery
FEMTO Lasik uses a femtosecond laser to create a corneal flap for vision correction.
Procedure
A femtosecond laser creates a thin flap in the cornea, and an excimer laser reshapes the cornea underneath.
Benefits
High precision, quick recovery, and effective for a wide range of vision problems.
ICL Surgery
ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgery involves implanting a lens inside the eye to correct vision.
Procedure
A collamer lens is inserted between the iris and the natural lens without removing any corneal tissue.
Benefits
Suitable for patients with high refractive errors, preserves the natural lens, and provides excellent vision quality.
Contoura Vision
Contoura Vision is a topography-guided LASIK technique for personalized vision correction.
Procedure
Uses detailed corneal topography maps to guide the laser in reshaping the cornea for precise vision correction.
Benefits
Enhanced visual outcomes, reduced visual disturbances, and customized treatment for each patient.
