What is refractive surgery?
Thousands of patients are already enjoying a new quality of life.
How is refractive surgery performed?
It is performed through a series of simple techniques and brief surgical procedures that can be divided into two types:
Laser refractive surgery: This technique uses lasers such as PRK or LASIK, among others, to modify the thickness and/or curvature of the cornea, thus allowing diopter correction.
Refractive surgery with intraocular lenses: This technique involves implanting a phakic or intraocular lens to correct prescription. It is recommended when the degree of myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism is high, as it exceeds the safety parameters for laser surgery. It involves implanting a lens inside the eye without removing the crystalline lens.
High-definition vision: from screen to real life, without limitations.
How long does the operation take?
It is a very quick surgery, lasting only 10-15 minutes per eye.
What type of anesthesia is used?
For this surgery, topical local anesthesia is used, with eye drops applied directly to the eye. A spacer is placed to prevent the patient from blinking during surgery.
Treatments adapted to each type of visual defect.
When is refractive surgery with intraocular lenses contraindicated?
·If the patient has glaucoma. · If the patient has cataracts. · If the patient has Fuchs’ endothelial dystrophy. · If the patient’s eyes have narrow anterior chambers. · If the patient has pseudoexfoliative syndrome (a condition in which a whitish material accumulates in the anterior region of the eye). · If the patient has iris defects or diseases.
What are the risks of refractive surgery?
Although it is a very safe procedure that in most cases does not present any complications, these are the most common:
· Dry eye (the most common of all)
· Halos around lights. Although they usually occur, they disappear within the first few months.
· Infections (less frequent)
