Ocular Surface Surgery In India

What is the ocular surface?

The ocular surface is the outer zone of the eye. It is a functional unit composed of different structures such as corneal and conjunctival epithelium, lacrymal glands, eyelids and tear film. All components of this functional unit are linked through the innervation and vascular immunologic and endocrine systems.

The ocular surface is the interface between the functioning eye and our environment. This surface provides anatomic, physiologic, and immunologic protection and comprises the palpebral and bulbar conjunctival epithelium, the corneoscleral limbus, the corneal epithelium, and the tear film. While these structures represent the anatomical ocular surface, adnexal structures including the anterior lamellae of the eyelids, eyelashes, meibomian glands, and the lacrimal system are essential for appropriate protection and function of the ocular surface.

When conventional medical therapy fails and/or secondary complications (such as persistent epithelial defect, scarring) occur, surgical intervention needs to be considered. The primary goals are to increase lubrication, to assist healing and epithelial adherence, to remove visually significant opacities and to restore sight with minimal side effects. This chapter reviews the current knowledge on various surgical procedures that assist in the protection and stabilization of the ocular surface in a variety of diseases.

What is the anatomy of the ocular surface?
The ocular surface (OS) is a functional unit comprising the eyelids and blink reflexes, tear film and tear glands, the conjunctival mucus membrane and substantia propria, and the corneal epithelium and Bowman’s zone. Its health is crucial for vision.
What are the optical surfaces of the eye?
After the iris, the crystalline lens combines with the cornea to form the images on the retina. While the cornea is a lens with fixed optical power, the crystalline lens is an active optical element. It changes its shape, modifying its optical power and, therefore, the whole eye’s power.
How are new technologies used to treat eye defects?
Robotic-assisted microsurgery is one such advancement. This technique allows surgeons to perform delicate procedures on the eye, including cataract extraction and corneal transplantation, with greater precision and accuracy than ever before.
What is the treatment for ocular surface disease?
Your doctor will start by trying to find the cause of your OSD. That cause will then determine your treatment, which may include eye drops, ointments, eyelid scrubs, warm compresses, or artificial tears.
What is the new technology to restore eyesight?
Science, a start-up company in Alameda, Calif., has designed a visual prosthesis called the Science Eye which could restore vision, albeit in a limited form, in people with retinitis pigmentosa. Hodak, its CEO, co-founded the startup after a stint at Elon Musk’s company Neuralink.
