Did you know that there are different types of cataracts? Cataract surgery is the most performed surgical procedure in the world. However, most people do not realise that there are different types of cataracts. Ophthalmologists classify cataracts in several ways. The most basic method of classification is according to the location of the actual opacity. Types of cataracts by location There are three basic areas in the eye that an opacity can form: the centre portion of the natural lens, the outer part of the lens and the back surface of the lens.

What is LASIK? LASIK is a surgical procedure for correcting near sightedness (myopia), far sightedness (hyperopia) and cylindrical (Astigmatic) refractive errors. LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis. Procedure of LASIK During LASIK surgery, a flap is created in the outer layers of the cornea. The flap is hinged and lifted so the excimer laser can treat only the underlying layer of the cornea. This circular flap remains attached to the cornea by a small hinge of tissue. The hinge enables the flap to be lifted away from the central cornea. A laser can then be used to reshape the exposed mid-layer of the cornea. The laser is used to create a flap using multiple short pulses. These pulses are so close together they create an almost complete separation of the flap from the rest of the cornea, but they do not actually lift the flap. If the flap pattern is judged to be complete and satisfactory, a delicate separation of the flap is performed with a few gentle ...
