In recent years, optogenetics, bionic lenses and stem cell therapies have been made for eye diseases that cause blindness and vision loss, but prosthetic eye is still the only option in cases of serious injuries and loss of vision. It is not possible to restore the vision in the lost eye at this point, but the prosthetic eye at least provides the person with a natural look and a sense of confidence. Basically, 2 methods are applied in prosthetic eye surgery. The first and most frequently used method is the evisceration method in which only the eye contents are evacuated. The second technique used is the enucleation method in which the entire eye is removed. The surgery takes about 30 minutes and can be performed under local or general anesthesia.
What is Eye Health?
Eye diseases that limit vision and occur in the eye are called eye diseases. Eye diseases can be genetic or may occur due to some environmental factors. Eye defects are determined by a number of tests performed by doctors. If the person tested as a result of the symptoms has any eye disease, the necessary treatment methods are applied. Eye drawing treatment can be applied to people who have problems such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism. Excimer Laser treatment has taken its place in the medical world as a reliable method with clear rules and results. Since the early 1980s, millions of people have been freed from the restrictions created by the use of glasses and contact lenses in their social and professional lives as treatment with this method. With the developing technology, cornea surgeries can now be performed using Intralase Laser technology.
