Ophthalmotomy

Ophthalmotomy is a surgical operation that involves making an incision in the eyeball.

The purpose of this operation is to gain access to the internal structures of the eye to study them, treat various diseases or remove foreign bodies and tumors.

The ophthalmotomy procedure is performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon makes a small incision in the sclera (the outer layer of the eye) and performs the necessary manipulations inside the eyeball using special microsurgical instruments.

After completion of the surgical intervention, the incision is sutured. In the postoperative period, drug treatment is prescribed to prevent inflammatory complications.

Ophthalmotomy allows you to save the eye as an organ in cases where its complete removal would previously have been indicated. Modern microsurgery techniques make this operation high-tech and gentle.

The surgical operation ophthalmotomy is one of the most common procedures in ophthalmology. It involves making a small incision on the eyeball to achieve a specific purpose, such as cataract removal or glaucoma treatment.

Ophthalmotomy is performed under local anesthesia and takes about 15-20 minutes. During surgery, the surgeon makes an incision on the surface of the eyeball, which usually passes through the cornea and iris. After this, the surgeon can perform the necessary procedures, such as cataract removal, artificial lens implantation, or glaucoma drainage.

After surgery, the patient may experience some discomfort such as pain, redness and swelling. These symptoms usually go away within a few days. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, you should consult a doctor.

In addition, ophthalmotomy can be performed to diagnose various diseases such as tumors, injuries and others. In this case, an incision is made only to gain access to the affected area.

Overall, ophthalmotomy is a safe and effective procedure that can help patients restore vision and improve quality of life. However, before undergoing surgery, you should carefully evaluate all possible risks and benefits, and discuss possible alternatives with your doctor.

The effectiveness of ophthalmotomy depends on the reasons for the operation and the technical aspects of the procedure. In addition, ophthalmotomy can be combined with other surgical methods, such as corneal transplantation (keratoplasty), in the treatment of severe damage to the eyeball, and even in the treatment of retinal diseases.

When performing an ophthalmotomy, anesthesia or local or intravenous anesthesia is used. This makes it easier for the patient to undergo the operation without unnecessary pain and stress. In most cases, local anesthesia is used. This medical procedure takes about an hour.
