Ophthalmology
Ophthalmology is the medical specialty focusing on eye health. It includes the anatomy and physiology of eyes and eye diseases. This branch of medicine encompasses all the aspects of visual function. MedIncredi’s medical tourism partners offer various types of eye treatments, from regular check-ups to complicated eye surgeries at extremely affordable rates.
Blepharoplasty
This procedure is performed by an eye doctor for the repair of droopy eyelids. The doctor will make one or more incisions to remove the unwanted skin and muscle, and will also reposition or remove the fat in the eyelids.
Cataract Surgery
When you develop a cataract, it means that there is cloudy area in your eye lens. This makes it difficult to see and the cataract has to be removed. The doctor will use tiny tools to remove the cloud-like lens and replace with one artificial lens. This surgery is very advanced these days, with a range of choice for lenses. MedIncredi and our partners work out very reasonable packages for you so that you can have the best lenses for the least prices.
LASIK (laser in-situ keratomileusis)
LASIK surgery is done to correct vision problems faced by adults, such as astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness. The doctor will use a laser (strong light beam) and change the shape of your cornea to resolve your eye problem. If you have a thin cornea or dry eyes, then you may be recommended the PRK or Photorefractive keratectomy.
Corneal Transplant
Doctors perform corneal transplant, also known as corneal graft or keratoplasty, to treat severe infection and damage of eyes, and to improve sight and relieve pain. Your doctor will remove the damaged part of the cornea and replace it with healthy donor tissue. Doctors associated with us can perform full and partial thickness corneal transplant (Penetrating keratoplasty and Lamellar keratoplasty respectively).
Glaucoma Surgeries
In the glaucoma implant procedure, the doctor will insert a tiny tube, called shunt, into the white of the eye. This tube drains the accumulated, extra fluid out of the eye which lowers the eye pressure. In the trabeculectomy procedure, the doctor will create a tiny hole inside your eye, right under the eyelid, to drain off the extra fluid.
Eye Muscle Surgery
Sometimes the eyes do not move together as a pair. One of the eyes might drift in and out, up and down. This condition of the eyes is called Strabismus. There are different methods to treat Strabismus, and surgery is one of them. In this surgery, the eye surgeon will attempt to restore eye muscles to their proper position. The eye muscles are strengthened or weakened by using different techniques, which might involve removing a section of the eye muscle or attaching a muscle to another point in your eye.
Retina Surgeries
There are several procedures to repair a detached or damaged retina, which are performed individually or in combination. Cryopexy, photocoagulation, scleral buckle surgery, pneumatic retinopexy, are vitrectomy are some of the various procedures/surgeries carried out to repair the retina. MedIncredi strives to be a one-stop platform for patients looking for affordable eye treatments and eye surgeries while ensuring their comfort and convenience.
