Laser beams are used to destroy the intraocular blocks which interfere with the normal outflow of fluid in glaucoma. Surgical intervention normalizes the intraocular pressure and reduces degenerative processes in the retina.
• microsurgical treatment is performed for cataract, with the aim of removing the crystalline lens and implanting its prosthesis, which does not make the patient uncomfortable and does not require a long rehabilitation period.
• cross-linking is a combined therapeutic and laser treatment of the cornea, stimulating the formation of collagen fibers and blocking the progression of keratoconus. Today, this method is one of the best options that ophthalmology clinics can offer for the treatment of this disease.
