Ophthalmology
Eye surgery, often known
as ophthalmic or ocular
surgery, is an operation performed on the eye or its adnexa
by an ophthalmologist. Eye surgery and ophthalmology
are synonymous terms. Extra care must be given before, during, and after
surgery because the eye is a very delicate organ in order to lessen or prevent
further damage. An experienced eye surgeon will advise on the best surgical
procedure for the patient as well as the necessary safety precautions.
Surgical ophthalmologists
are ophthalmologists who perform microsurgical intraocular treatments like
cataract extraction surgery or retinal detachment repair surgery.
