What Is Ophthalmic Surgery?

Ophthalmic surgery involves procedures that treat diseases or structural problems affecting the eyes and surrounding tissues. At Columbus Regional, our experienced ophthalmic surgeons offer both routine and complex eye surgeries, including:

• Cataract surgery – Removal of cloudy lenses and implantation of intraocular lenses (IOLs)
• Glaucoma surgery – To lower eye pressure and prevent optic nerve damage
• Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) – For drooping eyelids or vision obstruction
• Corneal procedures – Including transplants and keratoplasty
• Retinal surgery – For conditions like retinal detachment, macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy
• Lacrimal (tear duct) surgery – To address blockages or infections

Many of these procedures are now performed with microsurgical tools and image-guided systems that allow for greater accuracy and gentler techniques.

The Role of Technology in Modern Eye Surgery

While robotic assistance is not currently standard for all ophthalmic procedures, our surgical team uses state-of-the-art equipment for diagnostics, laser treatment, and microsurgery—bringing the same level of precision, safety, and minimally invasive care you expect from our broader robotic surgery program.

We also work closely with the Center for Robotic Surgery for interdisciplinary cases, such as tumors involving the orbit or complex craniofacial procedures that may require robotic collaboration.
