Small incision lenticule extraction
Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) is a refractive surgery in which a femtosecond laser cuts a disc of tissue inside the cornea, removed through a small incision to correct myopia.
Strabismus surgery
Strabismus surgery adjusts the position or tension of the extraocular muscles to realign eyes that point in different directions, improving binocular vision, stereoacuity, and head posture.
Subretinal injection
Subretinal injection is a surgical procedure delivering fluid, cell suspensions, or viral vectors between the retina and retinal pigment epithelium, used mainly for retinal gene therapy.
Surface ablation (ophthalmology)
Surface ablation is a flapless refractive surgery technique in which the corneal epithelium is removed and an excimer laser reshapes the cornea, preferred for thin corneas and patients at risk of flap dislocation.
Trabeculoplasty
Trabeculoplasty is a laser procedure applied to the eye's trabecular meshwork drainage tissue to improve outflow and lower intraocular pressure in open-angle glaucoma, with variants including ALT, SLT, and MLT.
Trabeculotomy
Trabeculotomy is a glaucoma operation that restores fluid drainage by cutting the trabecular meshwork and opening Schlemm's canal, introduced by R. Smith in 1960 and used mainly for congenital glaucoma.
Transluminal trabeculotomy
Transluminal trabeculotomy is a microinvasive glaucoma operation that opens Schlemm's canal and the trabecular meshwork from inside the eye, using an illuminated microcatheter or blunted suture, to lower intraocular pressure.
Upper blepharoplasty
Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, and sometimes muscle and fat, from the upper eyelid to treat drooping tissue (dermatochalasis) or reshape the lid.
Vitreoretinal Surgery
Vitreoretinal surgery is the branch of ophthalmology treating retina and vitreous diseases, established as a subspecialty after Robert Machemer's first pars plana vitrectomy in 1970.
Vitreous prolapse
Vitreous prolapse (ICD-10 H43.0, ICD-11 9B82), also called vitreous loss, is forward displacement of vitreous gel into the anterior segment, usually after posterior capsule rupture in cataract surgery or delayed after YAG capsulotomy.
Yamane technique
The Yamane technique is a sutureless operation for fixing a three-piece intraocular lens in eyes lacking capsular support, introduced by Shin Yamane and colleagues in 2013.
