similar to LASIK where outer layer of cornea removed & discarded & laser change shape of deep corneal layer & outer layer of cornea grows back
define LASER PHOTOCOAGULATION
treat diabetic retinopathy & AMD by sealing leaking/damaged blood vessels & intentionally creating scar tissue to repair small retinal tears or holes

removal of stapes & insert small prosthetic to conduct sound vibrations to inner ear
define TYMPANOPLASTY
surgical correction of hole in eardrum to cure chronic inflammation or restore function
define LABYRINTHECTOMY
