Treatment for cataracts has come a long way. If you are searching for the right intraocular lens (IOL) for your cataracts, you can enjoy more varieties today.

The main reason for glaucoma surgery is to lower intraocular pressure. It reduces or prevents damage to the optic nerve. Standard glaucoma surgeries are still effective in reducing the pressure in the eye. They reduce or prevent damage to the optic nerve.
