CATARACTS
Cataracts are a clouding of the eye’s natural lens that can interfere with vision. The majority of cataracts are connected to aging. More than half of all Americans over 80 either have a cataract or have had cataract surgery. At South County Outpatient Surgery Center, we perform the most modern cataract procedures including laser cataract surgery. We also provide premium intraocular lenses to further improve vision after surgery. If cataracts are interfering with your ability to perform daily tasks such as driving and reading, contact our facility in Delray Beach, FL to learn more about our cataract procedures.
GLAUCOMA
Glaucoma is a category of eye disease that causes progressive vision loss due to damage to the optic nerve. While there is no cure for glaucoma, treatment can slow its progression and protect vision. Our board-certified surgeons in Delray Beach, FL use state-of-the-art lasers to help fluid drain from the eye and lower the rising eye pressure that causes glaucoma. Our surgery center can perform Selective Laser Trabeculectomy (SLT) and Laser Peripheral Iridotomy to help control eye pressure and slow the progression of glaucoma.
CORNEA
Your cornea is the clear front window of the eye that allows light in. When your cornea is damaged or misshapen from injury or an eye disease like keratoconus, it can interfere with your ability to see clearly. At South County Outpatient Surgery Center, our board-certified surgeons can perform refractive surgery to correct refractive errors. Our facility also offers high-tech surgical equipment to facilitate surgery that treats vision-threatening corneal diseases. If your cornea has been damaged by illness, infection, or injury then contact our facility in Delray Beach, FL to learn more about the speciality care available to you.
RETINA
Vitreo-retina surgeons are ophthalmologists that specialize in surgery on the vitreous, the clear gel-like substance inside the eye and the retina, the back, inner lining of the inside of the eyeball. Your retina captures light and sends the information to the brain to be translated into the images you see. When the retina is diseased or damaged, you may require a vitreo-retina surgeon. Our skilled physicians diagnose and treat many conditions of the retina including macular degeneration, retinal tears and detachment, and diabetic retinopathy.
OCULOPLASTICS
Oculoplastic surgery refers to surgery around the eyes, eyelids, eyebrows, face, and forehead. You may undergo one of these procedures to treat a medical issue or for cosmetic purposes. Oculoplastic procedures are performed by ophthalmologists with special training in plastic or reconstructive surgery. Common oculoplastic procedures include eyelid surgery like, ptosis repair, eyelid lifts (blepharoplasty), and skin cancer removal. Our surgeons at South County Outpatient Surgery Center aim to deliver the highest-quality and safest surgical results.
