Ranging from corrective or cosmetic improvements to the most intricate vision-saving procedures, there are a number of conditions that may call for eye surgery. The highly trained staff and surgeons at Peak Surgery are equipped with the most advanced technologies available to provide the highest level of care and expertise available to address almost any condition and provide a successful solution and outcome. Treatments and procedures available at the Peak Surgery Center include:
Corrective Vision Surgery – LASIK & PRK
LASIK and PRK are precision corrective laser eye procedures developed to improve vision while eliminating the need to wear glasses and contact lenses. Both treatments provide safe and effective vision correction and have been designed to treat a broad range of vision imperfections including nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Corrective laser eye surgery is now the most popular elective eye surgery today with approximately 2,000 people having it performed every day. Determining the optimal procedure for each patient will depend upon individual objectives, desires, and lifestyle.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract Surgery is one of the most common procedures performed in the United States. More than 1.5 million cataract surgeries are now performed in the U.S. each year, and as the number of people over the age of 60 rises these numbers are likely to increase. After a thorough examination the doctor will provide details concerning the cataract surgery procedure. Patients may also be interested in learning more about Lifestyle Lenses designed for those who would like additional vision correction and improvement.
Glaucoma Surgery
Glaucoma is a disease of the eye that causes damage to the optic nerve. It is sometimes called “the silent thief of sight.” Glaucoma results in raised intraocular pressure with associated vision loss over time. An estimated three million persons now qualify as having glaucoma. If left untreated, glaucoma often causes blindness. Surgery for glaucoma cannot reverse the vision loss, but it can reduce the intraocular pressure when the results from medication are not sufficient. If surgery is needed, the doctor will determine the optimal surgical procedure for each patient. If necessary, glaucoma surgery can be performed multiple times with low risk.
Eyelid Surgery (Ocufacial)
Ocufacial surgery is the highly specialized field of medicine which includes the treatment of any condition that affects the eyelid or soft tissue that supports and surrounds the eye. This may include the eyelids, tear ducts, orbital tissue behind the eyes, and the facial area around the eyes, cheeks, or forehead. Eyelid or Ocufacial surgery may be indicated for both cosmetic and functional (reconstructive) reasons. Ocufacial disorders can occur in all ages, and a few of the most common conditions include:
– Drooping of the Upper or the Lower Eyelids
– Lesions or Skin Cancers On The Eyelids
– Facial Trauma Around the Eyes
– Eyelids That Turn In or Turn Out
– Orbital Trauma or Tumors Behind the Eye
– Facial Changes Due To Thyroid Problems (Grave’s Disease)
– Tear Duct Problems (Causing Blockage, Constant Tearing, or Infection)
Orbital Surgery
The orbit is the boney socket in the skull which contains and houses the eye and all the associated structures that support the function of the eye, such as muscles, nerves and blood vessels. Orbital eye surgery is often performed for conditions such as anopthalmia, enucleation, and evisceration. These types of surgeries are indicated for individuals with congenital defects, large eye tumors, or severe trauma resulting in the loss of the eye.
