Eye Surgery FAQs

Considering eye surgery can be a big decision. Here at Eye Group, conveniently located inside Madison Health Plex Performance Center in Madison, MS, we understand that you likely have many questions. This FAQ aims to address some of the most common concerns patients have about eye surgery.

What are the Most Common Types of Eye Surgery?

Eye surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures to address various eye conditions. Here at Eye Group, our experienced ophthalmologists specialize in a variety of procedures, including:

•             Cataract Surgery: This is a highly successful and common procedure to remove the clouded lens of the eye (cataract) and replace it with a clear artificial lens. Cataract surgery significantly improves vision and reduces dependence on glasses.

•             Glaucoma Surgery: Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness. Glaucoma surgery aims to create new drainage channels in the eye to help reduce pressure within the eyeball and prevent vision loss.

•             LASIK Surgery: This elective procedure corrects common vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea using a laser. LASIK surgery can significantly reduce dependence on glasses and contact lenses.

What Should I Expect Before Eye Surgery?

A comprehensive pre-operative consultation is crucial before any eye surgery. During this consultation, your ophthalmologist at Eye Group will discuss your medical history, perform a thorough eye exam, and explain the details of the specific procedure recommended for your condition. They will also address any questions or concerns you may have and provide instructions on pre-operative preparation, like medication adjustments or dietary restrictions.

Is Eye Surgery Right for Me?

The decision to undergo eye surgery is an individual one. During your consultation, your eye doctor near you will discuss the potential benefits and risks of the surgery in detail. They will consider your overall health, the severity of your eye condition, and your desired outcomes to determine if eye surgery is the most suitable solution for you.
