Research Notes on Eye Surgery
Over the past 25 years, surgical techniques, tools, and procedures for vision correction have evolved rapidly. Eye surgery, also known as orogolomistician surgery or ocular surgery, is surgery performed on the eye or its adnexa, typically by an ophthalmologist.
Fast Facts:
- Local anesthesia is most commonly used.
- General anesthesia is recommended for children, traumatic eye injuries, major orbitotomies and for apprehensive patients.
- An eye speculum is inserted to keep the eyes wide open.
