Our physicians perform most of our surgery at Glendale Eye Surgery Center.
Listed below are our most common surgeries performed:
Cataract Extraction with Intraocular Implantation
A cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation is a procedure in which an eye surgeon removes a clouded lens (cataract) from the eye and replaces it with an artificial lens (lens implant).
Yag Laser Capsulotomy
A YAG laser capsulotomy is a procedure in which an eye surgeon makes a small opening in the capsule of your eye. The capsule is the thin, clear membrane that holds the lens in place. During a YAG laser capsulotomy, your eye surgeon uses a special laser to make a cut in the capsule. This makes a clear opening for light rays to pass through.
When is it used?
Sometimes, especially after cataract surgery, the capsule becomes cloudy. Your vision becomes blurry. This procedure can improve your vision.
Glaucoma Surgery
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) is used to reduce or eliminate the need for glaucoma drops. The SLT laser should promote drainage of fluid from your eye. The procedure is done in our office.
Trabeculectomy – we also treat glaucoma by trabeculectomy. This procedure is done in our surgery center.
Droopy Eyelids/Ptosis Surgery
If vision is obstructed or reduced due to droopy lids, or you wish to be rid of that “tired” look, eyelid surgery is performed in the comfort of our surgery center.
