Corneal Transplant
A corneal transplant is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to a bulging, thinning, scarred, or swollen cornea; corneal ulcers; and Fuchs’ dystrophy.
Glaucoma Surgery

Punctal Occlusion
While there are a number of treatments for dry eye, severe cases may require a special procedure called a punctal occlusion to be fully corrected. This procedure seeks to help the eye harness and use what little lubricating tears they are capable of producing.
Retina Detachment/Tear Surgery
Generally, the retina loses its oxygen supply because of a tear or total detachment from the back of the eyeball. If left untreated, a retinal detachment can lead to permanent vision loss, so it requires immediate medical treatment.
