Eye surgery refers to various medical procedures performed on the eyes to treat vision problems or eye diseases. Common types include cataract surgery, which removes cloudy lenses, and LASIK, a procedure that reshapes the cornea to improve vision. These surgeries can help correct issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedures are typically performed by an ophthalmologist, a doctor specialized in eye care. Most eye surgeries are outpatient, meaning patients can go home the same day. Recovery times vary, but many people notice improved vision shortly after the surgery, leading to a better quality of life.
