Eye surgery is one of the most sensitive types of surgery performed in the form of open surgery or laser surgery by the ophthalmologist on the eye or adnexa. The ophthalmologist is responsible for choosing the procedure.
Eye surgeries have various types that sometimes aim to improve vision and sometimes relieve specific complications. The most common of these surgeries include cataracts, refractive errors (such as LASIK, PRK…), retina treatment and emergency cases. Despite the sensitivity of eye surgeries, these types of surgeries are now widely used with techniques that reduce the risk of surgery.
Since many nerves are involved in eye surgeries, local anesthesia is usually performed, and general anesthesia is often used for children.
