Ocular surgery refers to surgical procedures performed on the eye or its surrounding structures. This type of surgery can address various conditions, including cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal disorders. Techniques may involve removing or repairing parts of the eye to improve vision or alleviate discomfort. Common types of ocular surgery include cataract surgery, where the cloudy lens is replaced with an artificial one, and LASIK, a procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors. These surgeries are typically performed by an ophthalmologist, a medical doctor specializing in eye care and surgery.
