Eye treatments encompass a wide range of methods aimed at preserving eye health and treating eye diseases. One of the primary forms of eye treatment involves optical corrections such as glasses or contact lenses. These corrections are used to address vision impairments like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Cataract surgery is a common procedure involving the removal of cataracts and the implantation of artificial lenses, commonly used to treat one of the most prevalent causes of age-related vision loss.
Refractive surgery is another method used to correct vision impairments using laser technology. Various techniques such as LASIK, PRK, and LASEK are employed to reshape the cornea and correct refractive errors. Eye diseases such as infections and inflammations are treated with antibiotics or antiviral medications. More serious conditions like glaucoma may require medications, surgical interventions, or other procedures to lower intraocular pressure.
