    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens

    Corrective lens. A corrective lens is a transmissive optical device that is worn on the eye to improve visual perception. The most common use is to treat refractive errors: myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Glasses or "spectacles" are worn on the face a short distance in front of the eye.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucoma_surgery

    Glaucoma is a group of diseases affecting the optic nerve that results in vision loss and is frequently characterized by raised intraocular pressure (IOP). There are many glaucoma surgeries, and variations or combinations of those surgeries, that facilitate the escape of excess aqueous humor from the eye to lower intraocular pressure, and a few that lower IOP by decreasing the production of ...

    Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that lead to damage of the optic nerve, which transmits visual information from the eye to the brain. Glaucoma may cause vision loss if left untreated. It has been called the "silent thief of sight" because the loss of vision usually occurs slowly over a long period of time. [5]

[citation needed] Even if a prior trabeculectomy has failed a second trabeculectomy can be performed at a different site. If scarring is the main reason, anti-fibrotic and anti ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_surgery

    Refractive surgery aims to correct errors of refraction in the eye, reducing or eliminating the need for corrective lenses. Keratomilleusis is a method of reshaping the corneal surface to change its optical power. A disc of the cornea is shaved off, quickly frozen, lathe-ground, then returned to its original power. Automated lamellar keratoplasty
