A Shared Vision to Hold Your Eyesight as Precious as You Do.
Nothing is as precious as your eye sight.
Eye surgery, also known as ocular surgery, is surgery performed on the eye or its adnexa by an ophthalmologist. Your eye sight is important to us. The eye is a fragile organ, and requires extreme care before, during, and after a surgical procedure. An expert eye surgeon is responsible for selecting the appropriate surgical procedure for the patient, and for taking the necessary safety precautions.
