Below you can find some information about the treatments and techniques that are used at Jerry Tan Eye Surgery.

- Cataract surgery is suitable for patients who suffer from blurred and defocused vision that appears due to aging, especially after 55 years and above. Cataract surgery is an outpatient procedure that is carried out under anesthesia and requires a 6-hour stay in the hospital after the procedure.
For a few days, you will wear a clear shield and eye drops to protect the eyes from infection and rubbing.
The most common and modern cataract surgery technique is Phacoemulsification.
During this procedure, a small incision is made at the edge of the cornea, and an opening called a capsule is made around the cataractous lens. A vibrating device is used to break up the cloudy lens and suction it out. After the damaged lens is removed, it is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).

- Corneal Transplant (corneal surgery) is a procedure that may be required in case of corneal infections, degenerative processes, or corneal ulcers that have destroyed the structure of the cornea.

- Glaucoma is a condition in which the optic nerve is damaged due to the liquid accumulation that causes high pressure in the eye and affects the vision.
Physiologically the fluid is continuously produced in the eye via a structure called the ciliary body and drained out via another part called the trabecular meshwork. In case these mechanisms work appropriately the pressure is maintained at normal ranges - 10-21 mmHg.
If there is an imbalance, too little outflow (blockage), or too much fluid production then the pressure in the eyes increases above the normal range.
The initial treatment for patients with glaucoma starts with eye drops. The drops reduce liquid production and improve its drainage from the eye.
In more severe cases a laser peripheral iridotomy may be performed in the clinic in approximately 15 minutes.
In case the medical or laser treatments are not effective the solution is glaucoma surgery.

- Lasik is the gold standard procedure that corrects such conditions as short-sightedness, youthful long-sightedness, and astigmatism. At Jerry Tan Eye Surgery the doctors use Lasik technology to remodel the cornea to an optimal shape and reduce the side effects that may appear after the procedure.

- Retinal Laser Treatment is carried out at Jerry Tan Eye Surgery using PASCAL Laser since 2007.
